capo 2 — sounds 2 semitones higherIntro
A F#m E E7 (x2)
Verse 1
Did it all get real? I guess it's real enough.
They got refrigerators full of blood
another century spent pointing guns at anything that moves.
Sometimes I worry that I've lost the plot,
My twitchin' muscles tease my flippin' thoughts.
I never really dreamed of heaven much until we put him in the ground
Pre-Chorus 1
But it's all I'm doing now - listening for patterns in the sound
Of an endless static sea.
But once the satellite's deceased, it blows like garbage through the streets
Of the night sky to infinity.
Chorus
But don't you weep.
Don't you weep.
There is nothing as lucky...
Honey, don't you weep.
Don't you weep.
There is nothing as lucky... as easy... or free.
Verse 2
Don't be a criminal in this police state
You better shop and eat and procreate
You got vacation days then you might escape
To a condo on the coast
I set my watch to the atomic clock
I hear the crowd count down til the bomb gets dropped
I always figured there'd be time enough
I never let it get me down
Pre-Chorus 2
But I can't help it now - looking for faces in the clouds
I got some friends I barely see
But we're all planning to meet
We'll lay in bags as dead as leaves
All together for eternity
Chorus
But don't you weep.
Don't you weep.
There is nothing as lucky...
Honey, don't you weep.
Don't you weep.
There is nothing as lucky... as easy... or free.
