[Intro 1]
[Am][C][E5][D][D5][Bb][G5][Am]
[C][E][Fm][E][D]
[Bb][G][Am]
[C][G]
[Am]It's a matter

[Verse 1]
of prescience
[C]No, not the [G]science fiction [Am]kind
It's all about ignorance
[C]and greed and [G]miracles [Am]for the blind
[E]The [Am]media parad[C]ing Disjointed

[Verse 2]
[Am]
politic[E]s
Founded [Am]on p[C]etrochemical plunder
And [G]we're its host[Am]ages
[C]If you stand to [G#]reason

[Verse 3]
[Eb]You're in the [Bb]game
[C]The rules [Cm]may be [Ab]elusive
But [Eb]all pieces are [Bb]the same

[Verse 4]
And [Cm]you know [Ab]if one goes down
[Eb]We all go down a[Bb]s well
[C]The bal[Cm]ance is [Ab]precarious
[Eb]As anyone [Bb]can tell
This world's [C]go [Ab]ing to H[Bb]ell

[Verse 5]
[Fm]Don't [Ab]allow
[Eb]This mythologi[Bb]cal hope[Fm]ful monster
to [Ab]exact [Eb]it s [Bb]price
[Fm]Kyoto [Ab]now
[Eb]We can't do no[Bb]thing and think someone else[Fm]
[Ab]will make [Eb]it right[Bb]
[C][G][G5][G][Am][C][G]
[Am]

[Verse 6]
You might not think it matter[C]s now
[G]But what if you [Am]were wrong?
You might not think there's any [C]wisdom
In [G]a fucked up punk [Am]rock song
But the way [C]it is

[Verse 7]
[G]
Can not persist [Am]for long
A brutal sun [C]is rising
On a sick [G]hori[C]zon
[Am]It's[C] in[Cm]

[Verse 8]
[G#]the way
[Eb]We live our [Bb]lives
Exactly [Cm]like [G#]the double edge
[Eb]Of a cold familiar [Bb]knife

[Verse 9]
[C]And [Cm]su p[G#]remacy
[Eb]Weighs heavy on [Bb]the day
[C]It's nev[Cm]er really [G#]what you own
[Eb]But what you threw [Bb]away
And how [C]much [G#]did you p[Bb]ay

[Verse 10]
[Fm]Don't [G#]allow
[Eb]This mythologi[Bb]cal hopeful [Fm]monster
to [G#]exact [Eb]it s [Bb]price
[Fm]Kyoto [G#]now
[Eb]We can't do no[Bb]thing and thin[Fm]k that someone
else [G#]will make [Eb]it right[Bb]

[Verse 11]
[Fm]In your [G#]dream
[Eb]You saw a st[Bb]eady state
[Fm]of bounty for [G#]etern[Eb] ity[Bb]
Si[Fm]lent [G#]scream
[Eb]But now the [Bb]wisdom that
sustains [Fm]us is [G#]in full [Eb]re tr[Bb]eat
[C]Wat[D5]ch ou[Eb]t[Fm]

[Eb][G#][Bb][Fm][Eb][G#][Bb]
[C][Cm][Bb][G#]
[Eb]
[Fm]Don't [G#]allow

[Verse 12]
[Eb]
This myth[Bb]ological hope[Fm]ful monster
is[G#]n't worth the [Eb]risk[Bb]
[Fm]Kyoto [G#]now
[Eb]We can't have [Bb]vision for the fu
[Fm]ture [G#]if it can't be [Eb]fixed[Bb]

[Verse 13]
[Fm]Ali [G#]en
[Eb]We need a fr[Bb]esh and new
[Fm]religion [G#]to run our [Eb]lives[Bb]
[Fm]Hand [G#]in hand
[Eb]The ar i[Bb]d torpor of inacti[Fm]on
will [G#]be our [Eb]de m[Bb]ise[C]

[G#]Oh[Bb]
