Intro C5 C5 F5 x3
C5 F5 C5
We must talk in every telephone, get eaten off the web
C5 F5 G5
We must rip out all the epilogues from the books that we have read
C5 F5
Into the face of every criminal strapped firmly to a chair
C5 G5 C5
We must stare, we must stare, we must stare
C5 F5 C5
We must take all of the medicines too expensive now to sell
C5 F5 G5
Set fire to the preacher who is promising us hell
C5 F5
Into the ear of every anarchist that sleeps but doesn't dream
C5 G5 C5
We must sing, we must sing, we must sing
(And it'll go like this)
F5 G5
While my mother waters plants
C5 F5

F5 G5
He says, "Death will give us back to god,
A5 F5 G5

C5 F5 C5
We must blend into the choir, sing as static with the whole
C5 F5 G5
We must memorize nine numbers and deny we have a soul
C5 F5
And in this endless race for property and privilege to be won
C5 G5 C5
We must run, we must run, we must run
C5 F5 C5

C5 F5 G5
We must stare into a crystal ball and only see the past

Into the caverns of tomorrow with just our flashlights and our love
C5 G5 C5
We must plunge, we must plunge, we must plunge
(And then we'll get down there, way down to the very bottom of everything
And then we'll see it, we'll see it, we'll see it)
F5 G5
Oh my morning's coming back
C5 F5
The whole worlds waking up
F5 G5
All the city buses swimming past
A5 F5
I'm happy just because

I found out I am really no one
