Lyrics

[Intro]
| C - | - F | C - | - F |
| C - | - F | C - | - - |

[Verse 1]
            C
We must talk on every telephone
      F
Get eaten off the web
C
 We must rip out all the epilogues
         F                      G
From the books that we have read
           C
And to the face of every criminal
         F
Strapped firmly to a chair
              C
We must stare, we must stare,
G             C
 we must stare

[Verse 2]
            C
We must take all of the medicines
      F
Too expensive now to sell
C
 Set fire to the preacher
          F             G
Who is promising us hell
           C
And in the ear of every anarchist
     F
That sleeps but doesn't dream
             C             G            C
We must sing, we must sing, we must sing
And it'll go like this, alright

[Chorus]
F               G
While my mother waters plants
   C                F
My father loads his gun
                           G
He says death will give us back to God
     Am
Just like the setting sun
F    G
 Its return to the lonesome ocean

[Bridge]
C F C F
C F
C                                    C
 And then they splashed into the deep blue sea

[Interlude]
F C F                   G
     Oh, it was a wonderful splash
C F C G
C

[Verse 4]
             C
We must blend into the choir
          F
Sing ecstatic with the whole
C
 Must memorize nine numbers
        F              G
And deny we have a soul
            C
And in this endless race for property
    F
And privilege to be one
            C            G           C
We must run, we must run, we must run

[Verse 5]
            C
We must hang up in the belfry
               F
Where the bats and moonlight laugh
C
 We must stare into a crystal ball
      F              G
And only see the past
             C
And into the caverns of tomorrow
              F
With just our flashlights and our love
               C
We must plunge, we must plunge,
G              C
 we must plunge
And then we'll get down there
Way down to the very bottom of everything
And then we'll see it, oh we'll see it, we'll see it,
we'll see it

[Chorus]
F              G
Oh my mornings coming back
    C                    F
The whole world's waking up
                    G
Oh, the city bus is swimming past
    Am                F
I'm happy just because
  G
I found out I am really no one
