-------------
                              Cm7
Well, who do you think you're foolin'?
                      Cm7
You say you're havin' fun,
                      Gm7
But you're busy going nowhere,
                  Gm7
Just lying in the sun.
                  Cm7
You tried to be a hero,
                   Cm7
commit the perfect crime
                       Gm7
but the dollar got you dancing
                          Gm7
and you're running out of time.

                      Cm7
You're messin' up the water
                      Cm7
You're rolling in the wine
                      Gm7 
You're poisoning your body
                      Gm7
You're poisoning your mind

                 Cm7 
You gave me coca-cola
                   Cm7
You said it tasted good
                  Gm7
You watch the television
                     Gm7
It tell you that you should.

            Fm7
How can you live in this way?
              Gm7
You must have something to say.
              Ab
There must be more to this life.
             Bb6
It's time we did something right.

C#               Bb
Child of Vision, won't you listen?
Eb              C7
Find yourself a new ambition.


(same goes for the lyrics below)
I've heard it all before
You're saying nothing new
I thought I saw a rainbow
But I guess it wasn't true
You cannot make me listen
I cannot make you hear
You find your way to heaven,
I'll meet you when you're there.

How can you live in this way?
You must have something to say.

We have no reason to fight,
cos we both know that we're right.
Child of Vision, won't you listen?
Find yourself a new ambition.
