Am
Love bird, you flew into my window
E
Now in the sticky love nest sits a widow
Am
The tree it fell on all the people
E
Who gathered there to watch it topple
Am-E-Am-E
Am
Now turn around, it's burning down
Dm
The city we live in
C
Should we mobilize?
C
Take them by surprise?
F E
Let them have their way with us?
Am
Wounds be by old enemies
Dm
Broke my heart to see
C
Foundations ripped apart
C
And investments fade away
F E
I guess we got off to a bad start
C
No oxygen
Am
What is the outcome?
F
Hungry humans
G
We've got to enslave them
C
We'll burn those bridges
Am
When we come to them
F
I'm not just their leader
G
I'm also one of them
Am
The food supply has been depleted
E
The river's run dry just when it was needed
Am
The rats come out to take it over
E
Singing, squeaking, "We built this city"
Am
It's hard to breathe
Am
But we couldn't leave
Dm
Nowhere left to go
C
Almost everybody died
C
Drank the tears from those who cried
F E
We shriveled from the sodium
Am
And a map was found with an X on it
Dm
So we followed it there
C
And what did we find
C
An underground design
F E
As we entered in to our surprise
C
Oxygen
Am
Rivers and playgrounds
F
The ancients just stayed down
G
They never stopped moving
C
We stumbled towards them
Am
But they locked all the barn doors
F
So we had to dig deeper
G
We had to dig deeper
Am
And the deep was dark
E
I wanted to sleep forever
E
Wake up later, maybe never
Am
We had to build a civilization
E
Let the planet focus on the planet's rotation
Am
We tried, we tried
Am
We really tried
Dm
But no one could do it
C
Not really alive
C
Never learned how to survive
F E
We were humans being useless
C
No oxygen
Am
What is the outcome?
F
Hungry humans
G
We've got to enslave them
C
We'll burn those bridges
Am
When we come to them
F
I'm not just their leader
G
I'm also one of them
Am C
We fade into oblivion
C F Dm E
No traces of civilized living eating the earth
C
We're fading to oblivion
C F Dm E
No traces of civilized living eaten by earth
