[Verse 1]
C# F
The animals laugh from the dark of the wilderness.
A#m F# G#
baby cries hard in an apartment complex,
C# F
As I pass in a car buried under the influence.
A#m F#
The city's driving me out of my mind.
C# F
I 've seen a child is caught in the sad trap of gravity.
A#m F# G#
He falls from the lowest branch of the apple tree,
C# F
And lands in the grass and weeps for his dignity.
A#m F#
Next time he will not aim so high.
A#m G# C#
Yeah, next time, neither will I.
[Verse 2]
C# F
A# mother takes loans out, sends her kids off to colleges.
A#m F# G#
Her family is reduced to names on a shopping list.
C# F
Meanwhile, a coroner kneels, beneath a great, wooden crucifix.
A#m F#
He know that there are worse things than being alone.
C# F
So, I've learned to retreat at the first sign of danger.
A#m F# G#
I mean, why wait around, if it's just to surrender?
C# F
Ambition, I've found, can only lead to failure.
A#m F#
I do not read the reviews.
A#m G# C#
No, I am not singing for you.

[Verse 3]
C# F
I stood dropping a coin into the pit of a well.
A#m F# G#
And I would throw my whole billfold if I thought it would help.
C# F
With all these wishes I make, I should buy something real,
A#m F#
At least a telephone call home.
C# F
Well, my teachers, they built the retaining wall memory,
A#m F# G#
All those multiple choices I answered so quickly.
C# F
And I got my grades back and forgot just as easily,
A#m F#
But as least I got an 'A'.
A#m G# C#
So I don't have them to blame.
[Verse 4]
C# F
I should stop pointing fingers; reserve my judgment
A#m F# G#
Of all those public action figures, the cowboy president.
C# F
So loud behind the bullhorn, so proud they can't admit
A#m F#
When they've made a mistake.
C# F
While poison ink spews from a speechwriter's pen,
A#m F# G#
He knows he don't have to say it, so it don't bother him.
C# F
"Honesty" "Accuracy" are really just "Popular Opinion."
A#m F#
And the approval rating's high.
A#m G# C#
And so someone's gonna die.
[Verse 5]
C# F
Well, A#BC NBC CBS: Bullshit.
A#m F# G#
They give us fact or fiction? I guess an even split.
C# F
And each new act of war is tonight's entertainment.
A#m F#
We are still the pawns in their game.
C# F
As they take an eye for an eye until no one can see,
A#m F# G#
And we must stumble blindly forward, repeating history.
C# F
Well, I guess that we all fit into your slogan on the fast food marquee:
A#m F#
Red blooded, White skinned oh and the Blues.
A#m G# C#
Oh, and the Blues? I got the Blues! That's me! That's me!
[Interlude]

[Verse 6]
C# F
Well, I awoke in relief. My sheets and tubes were all tangled.
A#m F# G#
Weak from whiskey and pills,in a Chicago hospital.
C# F
My father was there, in a chair by the window,
A#m F#
staring so far away.
C# F
I tried talking, just whispered, "...so sorry...so selfish..."
A#m F# G#
He stopped me and said, "Child I love you regardless
C# F
And there is nothing you could do that would ever change this.
A#m F#
I'm not angry. It happens.
A#m G# C#
But you just can't do it again.
[Verse 7]
C# F
So now I try to keep up, I have been exchanging my currency.
A#m F# G#
While a million objects pass through my periphery.
C# F
So now I am rubbing my eyes because they are starting to bother me.
A#m F#
I've been staring too long at the screen.
C# F
But where was it when I first heard that sweet sound of humility?
A#m F# G#
It came to my ears in the goddamn loveliest melody.
C# F
How grateful I was then to be part of the mystery;
A#m F#
To love and be loved.
A#m G# C#
Let's just hope that is enough.
