I try with all my might

A minorAm
Seeking some salvation
To the limits of my talents

And the beauty this life can keep injecting

There's a whiplash in the news

A augmentedA joker's motorcade

Lives in the balance of the dirty deals made

To win elections

Guns and ammunition, babies in a cage
DmDm E minorEm
They say nothing can be done

But they tell us how they prayed
DmDm E minorEm FF
In the end, we're just standin' watchin' greatness fade
A minorAm
Into darkness
A minorAm
Awaiting resurrection
