"Pendulum" Lyrics & Chords:

G+G
I been walking a tightrope between fact and fiction
E minorEm
I been wrestling with demons in small bottled prisons
C majorC
I been talking with sinners who claim to be Christian
D MajorD
I been shouting at leaders who claim to be listening


G+G
& the pendulum swings from the left to the right
E minorEm
and momentum increases the need for the fight
C majorC
Like a moment of blindness in a lifetime of sight
D MajorD               G+G
& I am caught somewhere in the middle

G+G
I saw a president blind to the needs of his people
E minorEm
I saw a camel that passed through the eye of a needle
C majorC
I saw a group of old men whose money was evil
D MajorD
I saw a cross breaking free from the cage of a steeple
G+G
I saw beggars and cripples dying in squalor
E minorEm
I saw a son whose sins had exceeded his father
C majorC
I saw a nation of sleepers whose dreams were forgotten
D MajorD
& a bushel of apples from a tree that was rotten


G+G
& the pendulum swings from the left to the right
E minorEm
as momentum increases the need for the fight
C majorC
Like a blindfold when its time to walk towards the light
D MajorD              G+G
& I am lost somewhere in the middle

G+G
I heard the echo of suffering in the valley of laughter
E minorEm
I heard the rumble of earthquakes far under the water
C majorC
heard a court jester whose forked tongue was twisted
D MajorD
Who told us of dangers that never existed
G+G
I heard voices that claimed to be moral and righteous
E minorEm
Whose lies and deceit were all dark and contagious
C majorC
I heard talk of a country that valued its freedom
D MajorD
But when I protested I was arrested and beaten


G+G
& the pendulum swings from the left to the right
E minorEm
As momentum increases the weight and the height
C majorC
But if nobody's listening, is anyone right?
D MajorD                   G+G
& I can't seem to find the key to the riddle


G+G
I met a young woman with a baby inside her
E minorEm
I looked but there wasn't a safe place to hide her
C majorC
I met an old man with a face like a mirror
D MajorD
He showed me his sadness so I could see clearer


G+G
I met an arrogant leader who robs us and cheats us
E minorEm
He pretends that his orders come directly from Jesus
C majorC
When he sends out our children to strange foreign soil
D MajorD
To kill for the right to monopolize oil


G+G
I'm a raising my voice 'gainst the house of derision
E minorEm
That murders our freedom with short-sighted vision
C majorC
I'll sing a new song about civilization
D MajorD
& the palace of wisdom and the death of a nation


G+G
I'll lift up the veil that's hiding the holy
E minorEm
& remind all the people that change happens slowly
C majorC
I'll scream out a name to the echoes of Heaven
D MajorD
& pray that the world don't end up where its heading


G+G
& the pendulum swings from the left to the right
E minorEm
as momentum decreases the end is in sight
C majorC
There's a lunatic handling our future tonight
D MajorD              G+G
& I am lost somewhere in the middle
