Intro Riff: F#,E,F#,A, F#, Bsus

Bsus                                               A 
Down with history, down with sense
Bsus                                               A
Nothing makes much difference
Bsus
I'll surrender to this tragic mess
A
Spinning ball of randomness
C#m                                            B
Where Logos is the finest blasphemy 

Bsus                                             A
Men's lives pass like strips of film
Bsus                                          A
Recorded gesture, acts of will
Bsus 
I'd like to think that down through time
A
They'd compose a logical line
C#m                                               B
But chances are that's just a pile of shit

F#m                          E                          D
And I can't help but bow my head and cry
F#m                       E             D
It took so long to finally realize
F#m                              A                               D
That all our hopes are based on such gross lies 

*Intro Riff* F#,E,F#,A, F#, Bsus

Bsus                                         A
Classroom lessons World War Two
Bsus                                         A
Atrocities against the Jews
Bsus
Never again our solemn vow
A
That's why we all share Cambodia
C#m                                                     B
Isn't it great how far we've come since then? 

F#m                        E                           D
And I can't help but bow my head and cry
F#m                      E              D
It took so long to finally realize
F#m                             A                              D
That all our hopes are based on such gross lies 

*Intro Riff* F#,E,F#,A, F#,Bsus

D             C#     Bm
Dialectic's shit
D         C#     Bm
Evolution's crap
D                C#   Bm
Time and time again the masquerade is
B5

A                                                          B
Progress, progress it's a pleasant myth
