Verse 1:

E                   A
Sittin' here on the Terra Firma

B                       A*
 It's the place we were meant to be

E              A
Out here kinda lost in space now

B                 A*
 Pondering life's mysteries

E              A
All of mankind worship at the altar

B           A*
 Of the old mythology

E               A
But the genie's out of the bottle

B                      A*
 Collision course with eternity


Play main riff.


Verse 2:

E              A
Young children playin' in the chat room

B                        A*
 With the freaks and the satellites

E             A
Upload to the nearest planet

B                   A*
 Burnin' out at the speed of light

E                     A
Better living for the masses

B             A*
 With the new technology

E                  A
But some fool went pushed the button

B                 A*
 He didn't get an apology

Feelin' good is a new sensation

B5            D D D D D D D
Panacea for a Prozac nation



Chorus 1 (partial)

Heavy, heavy water
Won't wash away the sins of the father



Verse 3:

E          A
Sacred Cow sizzlin' in the fire

B             A*
 As we all go up in flames

E                A
With millions of true believers

B            A*
 And their unfamiliar names



Bridge 2:

B              A
On the road to good intentions

B                    D D D D D D D
Blown to hell by our own inventions

Heavy, heavy water
Won't wash away the sins of the father
Unholy, holy water
Leading us like lambs to the
