The sun came [F#m] up with no [C#] conclusions, flowers sleeping in their beds, the city cemeteries
humming, I'm wide awake, it's morning.
I have my drugs, I have my woman, they keep away my loneliness.
My parents, they have their religion, but sleep in separate houses.
I
[F] read the body count out of the [A#] paper, [C] [A#m] [D#]
[F#] and now it's written [Fm] all over my [C#] face.
[F] No one ever plans [C] to sleep [Fm] out in [A#] the gutter, [C] [A#m] [D#]
[Fm] sometimes that's just the most comfortable [C#] place.
So I'm drinking, [F#] breathing, writing, [C#]
singing, every day I'm [D#] on the clock.
[C#] My mind races [F#] with [C#] all my longings, but can't keep up with what I've got.
So I [A#m] hope I don't [F#] sound too [C#] ungrateful, but history gave [D#] modern [C#] men a telephone [F#] to talk
[C#] to strangers, machine guns, and a camera lens.
So when [F] you're asked to fight a [Gm] war [Fm] that's over [A#] nothing, [C]
[C#] [D#] [F#] it's best to join the [Fm] side that's gonna [C#] win.
[F] And no one's sure [Cm] how [Fm] this [A#] got [C] started,
[C#] [D#] but we're gonna [F#] make them goddamn [Fm] certain how
it's gonna [C#] end.
Oh yeah we will, oh yeah we will.

Well I could have been a famous singer if I had someone else's voice, but failures always sounded better.
Let's fuck it up boys, make some noise!
The sun came up with [F#] no [C#]
conclusion, fell asleep in him.
And that's the city summer, Tari's calling, I'm wide awake, yes, morning!
