      D                G

by the pirates of the new age.

      C                       D

That things can go bad

There's future complications

in the strings between the cans,
    D                       G
but no prints can come from fingers
      C                D
if machines become our hands.
             D               G
And then our feet become the wheels,
             C                    D
until the wheels become the cars,
             D             G
and then the rigs begin to drill,
          C                 A
until the drilling goes too ? far.

G      D

D              G
Well thingamajigsaw puzzled

anger don't you step too close
       D                     G
'cause people are lonely and only
C                      D
animals with fancy shoes.
    D                 G
And hallelujahs exact nothing
     C                  D
when misery is on the loose
        D                     G
'cause people are lonely and only
    C                 A
animals with too many tools
                       A
that can build all the junk that we sell
A                    A
Aw, sometimes man it makes you wanna yell



 D            G
Things can go bad
     C                     D
and make you want to run away
