verse 1
Am F C
Well I remember you, you haven't changed a bit

You've still got that sadness, it's hanging from your lips

You point your tattooed fingers at the fish

As they swim off to the sunset so freely
(Oh there they go, there there they go)

With the contents of your pockets you give surnames like Shabazz

Treat them like your children and you dress them up in drag

You're all down passing out predictions on the ave

To conclusions of the book we are both reading
(Somewhere between the spines)

They say time is always watching, he pours himself a drink

How I fly on by while you fiddle with your phones
C E Am
Like foolish waves go crashing over unsuspecting stones
Bridge

You look into the mirror blowing kisses at your flaws

Speaking broken Spanish drinking goat's milk through a straw

Or the businessmen who idolize your lunchbox
(Saying what's he got, well what's he got)

You watch the soldiers starving from your bleachers in the shade
C E Am
On Halloween you heed their knocks and feed them hand grenades
Am F
You'll suffer through Martinis while Frank Sinatra's played

On the speakers there to drown out the gunshots
(Oh my, my, my, my)

Communism's crumbled, cabinets have lied

There are tractors at the tree line making gypsies of the Joads
