E A E A
Held like water in you shaking hands
E A E A
are all the small defeats a day demands.
E A B A E
10-6 or 9-5 trying, dying to survive.
E A E
Never knowing what survival means.
E A E A
Leave the apartment to buy alcohol.
E A E A
Hung our diplomas on the bathroom wall.
E A B
Pick at the plaster chipped away,
A E
survey some stunning tooth decay,
E A E
enlist the cat in the impending class-war.
B F#m A
Let's lay our bad day down here, dear
B F#m A
and make-believe we're strong,
E F#m A
or hum some protest song.

Like maybe "We Shall Overcome Someday."
E A E A
Overcome the stupid things we say.
E A B
Say I needed more than this,
A B
say I needed one more kiss.
F#m E A E A
We left that light on way too long now.
B F#m A
Let's plant a bomb at city-hall and
B F#m A
kill an M-L-A.
E F#m A
We'll talk the night away.
E F#m A
You call in sick, I'll quit the word-games that I play.
E F#m A
I swear I way more than half believe it when I say
C# A
somewhere love and justice shine.
B E
Cynicism falls asleep.
C# A
Tyranny talks to itself.
B E
Sappy slogans all come true.
C# A B B
We forget to feed our fear.
