Capo 4
Verse 1:
E
Breaking the curfew I'm almost home to you
Bm
I can't wait to talk again
G (two strokes) A (barre 5)
Find freedom at the end
E
'Cause death is closer to the life we loved
E
Everyone's the same everything is gray
Bm
When I bet on anything
G A
'cept that if you will sing
E
You won't be jailed 'cause you expressed too much
Verse 2 - as above
Starting out with fines, then they gave us time
For public negativity
This is a nice country
A perfect system can't be criticised
Wife and kids at home never been alone
Microphones in every room
Crossed the land that's true
It's an offence to say you hate your life
[Refrão]
Bm A E
I left a package on the train downtown
Em7 Asus2 Bm
That little package bring the whole thing down
Bm A E
I left a package on the train downtown
Em7 Asus2 Bm
That little package bring the whole thing down
(Verse)
Every lie must be out so they can see
Your awake and questioning
The way of things,
You see these questions spread like ripples do
Every month that end seems to start again
Your purpose is to earn your means
But they can't be dreams
Don't want you throw 'em where you don't need too
(Verse)
Get a licence too, have a barbeque
Social interaction, die
'Cause deep inside,
They know we know this is against our will
Breaking the curfew almost home to you
You're the only ones I love
Can't grow up
Inside this suffocating box they built
[Refrão]
I left a package on the train downtown
That little package bring the whole thing down
I left a package on the train downtown
That little package bring the whole thing down
