Terror cleared the skyline and anger clouded judgement
FM7
So they spent a thousand night times
E E/G# Am
In the desert fighting something that they couldn't find
Am7
That made it something that they couldn't fight

Left us all lamenting, all the wrongs that they couldn't right

This is for the second time that we've been here before

Their fingers on the trigger, we won't be here for long

Some guy shot a monster called Reagan so he could bone

Macarena, Superman, Chicken Dance, Running Man
Am Am7
Generation X and Generation Y

And the generation next will degenerate and die

'Cause we got holes in the ozone that we put there ourselves
Bm C
Now the poles are a no-go, earth's cooking itself
[Verse 5]
Am
And we can't look at ourselves
Am7 FM7 E E/G#
So we got saline, botox, eighteen, fake tits, nineteen, detox
Am Am7
Don't stop, get it, get it, can't afford it, get it credit

Buy it, spend it, try it, getting fat

When you better shed it!

More terror, more unjust search and seizures

A tidal wave came and claimed the coast of Indonesia
[Verse 9]
Am Am7
Quakes in Iran, Japan and California
FM7 E E/G#
Greenhouse gas turned the world into a sauna
Am Am7
The trauma of mortars, martyrs, slaughters
FM7 E E/G#
Of partners, mourners fathers and daughters
Am Am7
They chased us, caught us, numbered us to sort us
FM7 E E/G#
Raped us, scorned us, to break us they bought us
Am Am7
Third world kidneys for captains of industry
FM7 E E/G#
Uprising in the street, corruption in the ministry

And MP3's saw the fall of an industry

We had the Enron collapse and white-collar crime and
FM7 E E/G#
Investors they were taxed a dollar for a dime
Am Am7
The blue chip companies and blue-sky mines
FM7 E E/G#
We no longer choose sides we choose sidelines
[Bridge]
Am Am7
(Rich bleeding the kind, blind leading the blind)
FM7 E E/G#
(And history repeats, no competing with time)

Am Am7
Set 'em on the students, turned 'em on the kids and
FM7 E E/G#
Everyone responsible should burn for what they did!
[Verse 14]
Am Am7
And if they try to deny then an eye for an eye, the
FM7 E E/G#
Government and church on which we try to rely, both
Am Am7
Rob us 'til it hurts chasing lie after lie like
FM7 E E/G#
Astronauts chasing a pie in the sky, they
Am Am7
Landed on the moon but can't seem to return there
FM7 E E/G#
Makes some question if they ever really were there
Am Am7
And if they were there now and they looked back
FM7 E E/G#
Could we look them in the eye, could we look back?
Am Am7
'Cause when we look back at what we have done
FM7 E E/G#
Can you believe what we've become?
[Outro]

Can you believe what we have become?
Am Am7
As we walk into the sun...
