VERSE 1: (Slowly pick through the chords)
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m
I think that our kids will probably see
D MajorD C# minorC#m D MajorD
The end of humanity, as we know it
B minorBm E MajorE
Cause this world's about to blow it.
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m
Will they see what they saw in ancient Rome,
D MajorD BB
The destruction of the home.
C# minorC#m D MajorD E MajorE
Will they see the end of civility?
C# minorC#m
Cause when morality's been blurred,
F# minorF#m
Procreation seems absurd
B minorBm E MajorE
And human rights and freedom are just words,
C# minorC#m
That have lost all their meaning
F# minorF#m
In a world that is bleeding.
B minorBm
Like an animal in slaughter,
E MajorE A augmentedA
I hope that my daughters never know
VERSE 2: (Fast Power Chords)
E MajorE F# minorF#m
What it feels like to give up
D MajorD C# minorC#m
To know the whole world is corrupt.
D MajorD B minorBm
To realize they are really on their own
E MajorE A augmentedA
And there's no one left who cares
E MajorE
About the future
F# minorF#m D MajorD
Infected cuts don't need a suture
B minorBm C# minorC#m
There's a feeling that the human race,
D MajorD E MajorE
Has seen the checkered flag
C# minorC#m
And the laps that are given
F# minorF#m
Are the last ones ever driven.
B minorBm E MajorE
And everyone who's still living knows that
C# minorC#m
It's a shame that the earth
F# minorF#m
Will live on but can't give birth
B minorBm E MajorE
To a baby planet where we could start over again.
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m
We've been divided, we've been bled,
D MajorD C# minorC#m
Like a chicken without a head.
D MajorD B minorBm
Running frantically amuck
E MajorE
Taking but not giving a fuck.
SOLO: (Someone else tab that)
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m D MajorD
B minorBm C# minorC#m D MajorD E MajorE
VERSE 3: (Fast Power Chords)
C# minorC#m F# minorF#m
History is just an alibi
B minorBm
It's believing every lie
E MajorE
Man has ever dared to write.
C# minorC#m
It's so much easier to see
F# minorF#m
That complex reality
B minorBm E MajorE
A augmentedA lifetime full of misery and blight.
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m
So we tell our daughters and our sons
D MajorD C# minorC#m
That they're not the final ones
D MajorD B minorBm E MajorE
To see this planet as a decent place to live
A augmentedA E MajorE
We use our telescope
F# minorF#m D MajorD
To give them faith, to give them hope
B minorBm C# minorC#m
Anything to help them cope
D MajorD E MajorE
With their future cause there's no alternative
