Intro
G C G D G
[Verse]
G
I wake up in the morning and I drink from the fountain.
I wake up in the morning with the same unanswered questions.
C D G
I don't know what's going to cure my unsettled stomach.
Street kids collect spare change in a conch shell on the side walk;
their teeth are yellow, their hair is tangled.
C D G
Their minds are vapid and they laugh wild in their depravity.
Am D G C
I'll make my way back home to you, head north on San Marco Avenue.
Am D G C
White crosses on the church lawn, I want to smash them all.
G C
I want to smash them all.
G C G
Pony tails swinging back and forth behind beach blonde college girls out for a jog.
C D G
Saint Augustine, shine your light down on me!
Pop hits from the 90's echo out of tourist filled bars.
C D
I am met with arms crossed under dirty looks, I am treated like a common
G
thief.
[Chorus]
Em
Eaves-dropping in on conversation, I wander aimless leering at strangers.
C D G
Strung out on the amphetamines that you gave to me.
Em
Eye-balled with suspicion by a pencil skirt in high heels,
you realize that you're talking to yourself.
C D G
Cannon fire explodes out over the bay.
[Chorus]

The revolution was a lie
