there's holes in the roof
G
In the beginning they said there was light,
A
G
Well there ain't much left of it now.
We're lost in the darkness,
A
searching sound and sight
Am
Of an answer to the what,
We're talking 'bout freedom while
we're locked in a cell,
A
G
Dreaming of a world without war,
Forced to live on the boundaries of hell

in eternal night

Looking for a candle to use.
G
Lots of little candles, isolated hope,

Frail little flames in the gale,
D
Lost little people who just can't cope,
G
A
G
Just knocking their heads on the nail.
D

C
G
We ran like lemmings to the sea.
No-one really really wants
to get it all together,
It's easier to just grab what
you can.
Everybody's going it, hell for leather,
A
G
Building little castles in the sand.
D
Hypocrisy, delusion, lies,
pretence, deceit,
F
Think only of yourself and
the world's at your feet
A
I don't believe the things you say,
you make bullshit of the truth.
D
The game you play's offensive
Verse 7
and you life's the living proof.
A
Beg the question, bend the truth

But I'm tired of hearing their lies.
C
G
I'm tired of deceit,
A
G
I'm going to use my own eyes.
Gonna make my decisions,
live my own life,
They can keep their darkness
and gloom.
D
G
Hypocrisy, trickery, I've had enough,
D
A
They can keep their destruction
D
I've only one life and I'll live it my way,
F
They can keep their restrictions and law.
A
And if they think different
I'll have one thing to say...
"Fuck off 'cause I've heard it before."
