[Intro]
Dm E Dm E
Dm E Dm E
[Verse 1]
Dm E Dm E
Well, we know what makes the flowers grow, but we don't know why
Dm E Dm E
And we all have the knowledge of DNA, but we still die
G F E
We perch so thin and fragile here upon the land
G F E
And the earth that moves beneath us, we don't understand
[Bridge]
Dm E Dm E
[Verse 2]
Dm E Dm E
So we rush towards the Judgement Day, when she reclaims
Dm E Dm E
A toast to the Luddite martyrs then, who died in vain
G F E
Down at the lab they're working still, finishing off
G F
How do we tell the people in the white coats
E
Enough is enough?
[Chorus]
F F Am Em G F
Hey, hey, I listen to you pray as if some help will come
F F Am Em G F
Hey, hey, She will dance on our graves when we are dead and gone
Am G F
we are dead and gone
[Bridge]
Dm E Dm E
Dm E Dm E
[Verse 3]
Dm E Dm E
You and I we made no suicide pact, we didn't want to die
Dm E Dm E
But we watch the wall, little darling, while the chemical trucks go by
G F E
This desperate imitation, now, of innocence
G F E
Those last few days at Jonestown ain't got nothing on this
[Chorus]
F F Am Em G F
Hey, hey, I listen to you pray as if some help will come
F F Am Em G F
Hey, hey, she will dance on our graves when we are dead and gone
[Bridge 2]
G F E
G F E
[Verse 4]
E F Am
Now beneath the fitted carpets, beyond the padded cells
E F Am
Within these crimes of passion, the naked truth she dwells
C F G C
And this fury's just a part and this thunder's just a part
C F G G
Desire is just a part, the cracking ice, the splitting rock
[Chorus]
F F Am Em G F
Hey, hey, I listen to you pray as if some help will come
F F Am Em G F
Hey, hey, She will dance on our graves when we are dead and gone
F F Am Em G F
Hey, hey, to the suicide day, the blind man blunders on
F F Am Em G F
Hey, hey, She will dance on our graves when we are dead and gone
Am G F
we are dead and gone
Am G F
we are dead and gone
Am G F
we are dead and gone
[Bridge]
Dm E Dm E
Dm E Dm E
[Outro]
Dm E Dm E
As children learn about the world, we built that wall of sand
Dm E Dm E
Along the beach we laboured hard with our bare hands
G F E
We worked until the sun went down beneath the waves
G F E
And the tide came rolling splashing in, washed the wall away
G F
How do we tell the people in the white coats
E
Enough is enough ?
G F
How do we tell the people in the white coats
E E E
Enough is enough is enough?
