[Verse]
     E                 Eb  
So I arrived naked and cold
           E                             Eb                 
A welcomed change from the abeyance of a ghost town catacomb
E                                                      
No need for counsel I appreciate the time I'm not alone
                            Eb  
There were days these child eyes
      E                         Eb       
Would overlook the ugliness and fantasize
E                              Eb                     E 
I found my heart for the first time and I awakened in me
       E7                               B7     
I left myself to navigate and oh I felt control


[Chorus]
G E          Esus4 E    F                     
■ Who is the crowd that peers through the cage
D                  B7             E
As we perform here upon the stage ■


[Verse]
                    Eb 
As the boy became a man
          E                         Eb               
In came a calm sophistication I can hardly understand
E                     Eb                               E   
So lost in ego didn't notice when the time had slipped away
B7 E                        Eb 
■  Jesus Christ was born to die
            E                       Eb E      
Leave it to man to levitate his own to idolize
                             Eb               E   
We're simply sociopaths with no communication baby
                        Eb                        B7  
I see your angle but we differ from our points of view


[Chorus]
E          Em         F                     
Who is the crowd that peers through the cage
D                  B7            
As we perform here upon the stage
Em        E        F            
Tell me a lie in a beautiful way
  D                 
I believe in answers
B7       Em   
Just not today

Mother I'm alright ■


[Chorus]
        Gm                                      
It took the birth of sin to snakerattle the mind
         Eb                                       F      
Before a blow to the head by the gavel of time to wake up
D                
Won't you wake up
             Gm                                  
When did the walking apes decide that nuclear war
        Eb                                            F      
Was the only solution for them keeping the score Just wake up
D         E    Eb E 
Can't you wake ■  up
