Standard (EADGBE)

Nothing comes easier than madness in the world today

Mass paranoia is a mode not a melody

Yeah Id like to watch all thousand cable channels but theres nothing on

high speed connections monitored daily by the pentagon

These things are seldom what they seem

Im not inclined to enjoy my dreams

 Wont go away

No peace and no friends

We trace the mortal edge

To state the obvious

This world is perilous for us

No sense and no guide

Aint it beautiful to be alive

I wont resign before the struggle ends

So Ill construct this sound defense

 Pm.

We are the prey and culture is the predator

Im running out of time where conditions are positionnal

Shadows of a doubt cast reluctance and depravity

Theres got to be a way to overcome this grim reality

Is there an option left for me

Im not immune to despondency

Theres no way

No peace and no friends

We trace the mortal edge

To state the obvious

This world is perilous for us

No sense and no guide

Aint it beautiful to be alive

I wont resign before the struggle ends

So Ill construct this sound defense

Theres a signpost on the corner

 And it keeps everybody safe

We were all made in the shade

And your mothers in the kitchen

 Where shes patching all the cracks in the wall

 We never had to care in the world Ohhhoooohhhh

Solo

Too much to sacrifice

Its hard to recognize

Just a compromise of purely deadly alibies

Its combinational

The pressure so intense

So Ill construct this sound defense

Nothings plainer than the madness in the world today

I must conceal myself and steal myself and break away

I seek initiatives in matters that are black and white

So Ill construct this sound defense

 Pm.
