Things have been quiet for far too long

EAnd if I know human beings, things are gonna go wrong
        Chord diagramA minorAm
We were raised in a glade of unsustainable peace
Chord diagramG+G
Not many of us ever have to live on our knees
Chord diagramDmDm
I'm scared that I won't have the strength that it takes
         Chord diagramE MajorE
To stand up when the levee breaks
Chorus:
              Chord diagramFF                       Chord diagramG+G
So meet me at home when the sirens go off

I don't wanna be alone so don't you get lost
          Chord diagramFF                             Chord diagramG+G
I know a place where the two of us can hide

When the harsh winds blow and the world gets cold

You can't trust kindness and you can't eat gold
                   Chord diagramFF                 Chord diagramG+G
I've got the 21st century survival blues

I've got the 21st century survival blues
      Chord diagramG+G
Chord diagramA augmentedA generation raised up without paying its dues
  Chord diagramDmDm
Comfortable enough to play around with that
          Chord diagramE MajorE
Without knowing how to survive when the lights go out
           Chord diagramA minorAm
And if we take away the things that they've been depending on
          Chord diagramG+G
We'll be failing like children in a nursery home
       Chord diagramDmDm
So I started making lists of the essential things

For when the storms bring what they bring
