[Am] [E]
[A]
This place has changed for good [G] Your economic [B] theory [E] said it would
It's [F] [Dm]
[E] hard for us to understand We can't give [B] up our jobs the way [E] we should
[F] [Dm] [A]
[E] Your blood hustling, your cold Eternal [B] deepness of a [Am] nation's soul
Matter more than [E] bombs and guns Your [B] theory makes [E] no sense
[Am] [Dm] [A]
[F] One day [C] it [D] will They may [Em] understand our rage
[F] Build machines [C] that we control [D] And bury the waste [Am] in a great big hole
[F] Piles to [C] round sheep and clean [D] Grimy faces [Am] one never seen
[F] Deadly for [C] twelve thousand years [D] This carbon's morphine
[Am] We've worked the black scene together [C] [B] We've
[Am] worked the black scene together
The scene lies underground Two [G] million years [E] of worship backed it down
[Am]
You walk [E] through ancient forest lands [C] That line our piles [E] of city
[Am] fires
[A]
[E] Your docks are tunnel kilns [C] Have made [Em] redundant raw [E] mining skills
[Am]
You [E] can't exchange a six inch band For all the boys [B] and stream's men
[A] [Am]
[F] One day [C]
[D] it will They may [C] understand our rage
[F] Build machines [C] that we [D] control And bury the waste [Am] in a great big hole
[F] Piles to [C] round sheep and clean [D] Grimy faces [C] one never seen
[F] Deadly for [C] twelve thousand years [D] This carbon's morphine
[E] We've [Am] worked the black scene together [E] [B] We've
[E] [Am] worked the black [E] scene together
[A]
[Am] We [E] should but you [A] don't [C] The turning [B] world will sing [Am] their souls to sleep
[E]
Do you have some quill or a trace [C] The [B] universe will soak the [E] hate
[Am]
[F] One day [C] it will [D] They may [Am] understand our rage
[F] Build machines that [C] they can't control [D] And bury the waste in [Em] a great big hole
[F] Piles to round [C] sheep and clean [D] Grimy faces [Am] one never seen
[F] Deadly for [C] twelve thousand years [D] This carbon's morphine
