The custom concern for the people
A minorAm
Is build up monuments and steeples

To wear out our eyes
C majorC
I get up just about noon
A minorAm
My head sends a message for me to reach for my shoes and then walk
G+G                         FF
Gotta go to work, gotta go to work, gotta have a job
C majorC
He goes through the parking lot fields
A minorAm
Didn't see no signs that they would yield and then thought
G+G                         FF
This'll never end, this'll never end, this'll never stop

(Interlude: C majorC A minorAm G+G FF)

C majorC
Message read on the bathroom wall says
A minorAm
"I don't feel at all, at all like I fall." and
G+G
We're losing all our touch, losing all our touch now
     FF
Building a desert
                   C majorC
Oh my love were building ourselves a desert
               A minorAm
We're building ourselves a desert

We're building ourselves a desert

We're building ourselves a desert
               A minorAm
We're building ourselves a desert

We're building ourselves a desert
