[Intro]

[Verse]
C#m A C#m                                  E                 
■   ■ ■   I think I know what you mean but watch what you say
                  F#m                 E               
'cause they'll be trying to knock you down in some way
             C#m   F#m               E             
Sometimes it feels like the world is falling asleep
                           F#m  E             
How do you wake someone up from inside a dream
                C#m                       B        E        
Your mind would wander and search for its place in the night
          C#m7          F#m7         G#m7           
Your body followed this feeling like following light
          C#m7           F#m7    B7       E         
Once that your music was born it followed you 'round
         C#m7                    B7      G#m            F#m7
And then it gave your activities meaning and let you be loud
       G#m         A          E           F#m 
You're sad but you smile it's not in your eyes
     G#m                   Amaj7            A           E   
Your eyeballs won't change it's the muscles around your eyes


[Chorus]
G#m           E         G#m            E         G#m
■   An egg to fertilize ■   a pulse to stabilize ■  
          E         G#m   B       E          G#m
A body to deodorize ■   a life to scrutinize ■  
           E         G#m             E        
A child to criticize young adults to modernize
G#m             E         G#m                           
■   Citizens to terrorize ■   generations to desensitize


[Inst]
F#m B7 E C#m7 F#sus4 B B7 Emaj7
■   ■  ■ ■    ■      ■ ■  ■    
E C#m7 F#m7 B7 Emaj7 E C#m7 C#m
■ ■    ■    ■  ■     ■ ■    ■  
F#m B7 E C#m F#m7 B7 B E
■   ■  ■ ■   ■    ■  ■ ■
C#m F#m B7 E
■   ■   ■  ■


[Verse]
            C#m       F#m              E                
Your dreams are sweet and obsessed and you're overworked
       F#m                                     
You're overtaken by visions of being overlooked
                           E         
How disappointed would D I D I P P be
            E                                     
To see such power in our hands all wasted on greed
     C#m        F#m7         B7    E                    
Am I a prisoner to instincts or do my thoughts just live
C#m7        F#m7        B                
As free and detached as boats to the dock
B7        C#m7 F#m7               B7            E         
Just like when music was born and detached from your heart
C#m7                      B7                        
Is your free time to free minds or for falling apart
F#m7        G#m   A                  E    
Night after night ■ you turn out the light
F#m           G#m         Amaj7          A         E   
■   You don't fall asleep right away are we are we done


[Chorus]
G#m           E        G#m              E         G#m
■   A desk to organize ■   a product to advertise ■  
            E          G#m                E       G#m
A market to monopolize ■   movie stars to idolize ■  
           E          G#m            E          E7 G#7
Leaders to scandalize ■   enemies to neutralize ■  ■  
           E         G#m     E           G#m
No time to apologize fury to tranquilize ■  
           E           G#m                 
Weapons to synchronize ■   cities to vapori
