Verse 1
C
The
hour is out of joint
Black sun has risen
And the river of words
Is flowing on through
Dm
The cages of tradition
C
And they're handing out emptiness
We'll take it 'cause it's given
Free with this plastic innocence
Dm
And these standards of living
C
Verse 2
Questions lighted questions
Burnin' holes into my head
Hanging like shadows o'er the sun
Dm
Staring out like the eyes of the dead
C
And sometimes my soul flickers
When the wind of change blows cold
Over the mire of repetition
Dm
Down the corridors of rigmarole
Verse 3
G
What I say, what I think
What I put down in ink
F
Eb
C
I'm only trying to find a way to
Bb
Dm
understand
G
And I mean no harm
D
I'm just searching for calm
F
In the storm of mankind
C
Verse 4
Do you find it there
In the sea of faces
That drowns you everyday
Or in the silence and rubble
and empty spaces
Dm
Where children and rottweilers play
C
Is it buried in the praise
Given so cheap
With a meaningless
movement of the jaws
In the looking glass
That flatters you
Dm
Or in the rattle of hollow applause
Verse 5
G
Blind circle, moon and sun body willing,
F
mind undone
Eb
One pain ending while an
C
Bb
Dm
other begins
G
Lies, ruin disease
D
Into wounds like these
F
Let the truth sting
C
Verse 6
Bb
From the hub to the limit
C
Through the urban hollows
Bb
C
Out into the poles of the extreme
Bb
To echo through the numbness
C
Of these godless minutes
D
In the shadow of delusion's re
G
F
gime
C
And here watching the night As it opens
Verse 7
C
like a flower
And the day starts to rust
Feeling time pound
Like a silent hammer
F
On this empire of dust
C
And I'm thinking bout the bullet
And the TV screen, the dollar,
and the clenched fist
And if we're searching for peace
How come we still believe
Dm
In hatred as the catalyst
Verse 8
G
Oh through the borderline
F
In front and behind
Eb
One pain ending
C
Bb
Dm
While another begin
G
Lies, ruin disease
D
Into wounds like these
F
Let the truth sing
C
D
Yeah
F
Let the truth
Verse 9
C
And I feel it from the pit of my stomach
Into the ditch of my mind
Dm
C
Inside the chambers of my heart
Dm
As I stare half blind
C
At these walls of cardboard
Dm
C
At this space that I've rented
Dm
C
At your beauty that is crumbling
Dm
Though you try so hard to prevent it
Verse 10
G
On and on
F
Body willing, mind undone
Eb
One pain ending while an

Lies, ruin, disease
