Intro
Bm
[Verse 1]
Bm G
Well I remember you, you haven't changed a bit
D F# Bm
You've still got that sadness, it's hanging from your lips
Bm G
You point your tattooed fingers at the fish
D F#
As they swim off to the sunset so freely
(Oh there they go, there there they go)
Bm G
With the contents of your pockets you give surnames like Shabazz
D F# Bm
Treat them like your children and you dress them up in drag
G
You're all down passing out predictions on the ave
D F#7
To conclusions of the book we are both reading
(Somewhere between the spines)
[Chorus]
Bm G
They say time is always watching, he pours himself a drink
D F#
He says well I don't read the news, I'd rather use that time to think
Bm G
How I fly on by while you fiddle with your phones
D F# Bm
Like foolish waves go crashing over unsuspecting stones
[Bridge]
Bm G Bm G F#m Bm
[Verse 2]
Bm G
You look into the mirror blowing kisses at your flaws
D F# Bm
Speaking broken Spanish drinking goat's milk through a straw
Bm G
The twinkle from your eyes is said to stimulate the gods
D F#
Or the businessmen who idolize your lunchbox
(Saying what's he got, well what's he got)
Bm G
You watch the soldiers starving from your bleachers in the shade
D F# Bm
On Halloween you heed their knocks and feed them hand grenades
Bm G
You'll suffer through Martinis while Frank Sinatra's played
D F#7
On the speakers there to drown out the gunshots
(Oh my, my, my, my)
[Chorus]
Bm G
Time is always watching, he pours himself a drink
D F#
He says well I don't read the news, I'd rather use that time to think
Bm G
How I fly on by while you fiddle with your phones
D F# Bm
Like foolish waves go crashing over unsuspecting stones
[Bridge]
Bm G D G
[Verse 3]
F#
(Oh my, my, my, my)
Bm G
Communism's crumbled, cabinets have lied
D F#7
And if they told you half the truth, you'd do your best to act surprised
Bm G
There are holes in every mountain, lines on every road
D F# Bm
There are tractors at the tree line making gypsies of the Joads
End on Am
