VERSE 1
A C#m
I know a carpenter, I know a laborer
Bm E
He is my teacher, he is my brother
A C#m
I have a neighbor, he is my saviour
Bm E
He doesn't waver, he's a strong believer
A C#m
I know a business man, he scrapped his business plan
Bm E
While screaming fuck the man, he gave into the land
A C#m
They are all archetypes, people that I might like to be
Bm E
Just like in a completely different way
CHORUS
A C#m
and we all...
Bm E
We're coming out of our caves, Coming out of our caves
A C#m
and we all...
Bm E
We're coming out of our caves, Coming out of our caves
VERSE 2
A C#m
I know a farmer, I know his vision
Bm E
I know his struggle, I know his hope
A C#m
I know a futurist, he is an optimist
Bm E
And he knows a young waitress and he's trying to coax her out of her cave
A C#m
By smiling, by winking
Bm E
By saying you know it's good for us to talk, yeah it's good to talk.
A C#m
I know a father, I loved his daughter
Bm E
I told him never would I forsake her
A C#m
But I got home too late, from one of my escapades
Bm E
No woman to face, just a note that said baby I've sailed away
A C#m
................................Right out of my cave
Bm E
Caught a swell, caught a wave To another inspiring place
CHORUS
VERSE 3
A C#m
My friend the bureaucrat, he just accepts all that
Bm E
Which I cannot except, such frustration that I wept
A C#m
For my friend the taxman, he is my father and he
Bm E
Tallies numbers all day, yes he knows his numbers you could say!
A C#m
He taxes income! I asked him how come?
Bm E
"You know I work hard for every penny don't you think I deserve it all?"
A C#m
"Oh the law, the law, the law son there are flaws in the law
Bm E
But, in the end I just answer to God boy I'm just doing my job!"
A C#m
My friend the astronomer she is a stargazer
Bm E
I swear they talk to her, boy I wish I knew what they were saying
A C#m
While I was laying in her bed with her chest to my head...
Bm E
Were our intentions misread? So I just said it, I said, "baby,
A C#m
I'm a nobody I aint got no money!
Bm E
Just this ambition to tell the people we are equal so c'mon baby come out of your cave"
A C#m
Ahhh ahhh ahhh
Bm E
Catch a swell catch a wave to another inspiring place
CHORUS
