[Verse 1]
A#m F#
Well I remember you, you haven't changed a bit
C# F A#m
You've still got that sadness, it's hanging from your lips
A#m F#
You point your tattooed fingers at the fish
C# F
As they swim off to the sunset so freely
(Oh there they go, there there they go)
A#m F#
With the contents of your pockets you give surnames like Shabazz
C# F A#m
Treat them like your children and you dress them up in drag
F#
You're all down passing out predictions on the ave
C# F7
To conclusions of the book we are both reading
(Somewhere between the spines)
[Chorus]
A#m F#
They say time is always watching, he pours himself a drink
C# F
He says well I don't read the news, I'd rather use that time to think
A#m F#
How I fly on by while you fiddle with your phones
C# F A#m
Like foolish waves go crashing over unsuspecting stones
[Bridge]
A#m F# A#m F# Fm A#m
[Verse 2]
A#m F#
You look into the mirror blowing kisses at your flaws
C# F A#m
Speaking broken Spanish drinking goat's milk through a straw
A#m F#
The twinkle from your eyes is said to stimulate the gods
C# F
Or the businessmen who idolize your lunchbox
(Saying what's he got, well what's he got)
A#m F#
You watch the soldiers starving from your bleachers in the shade
C# F A#m
On Halloween you heed their knocks and feed them hand grenades
A#m F#
You'll suffer through Martinis while Frank Sinatra's played
C# F7
On the speakers there to drown out the gunshots
(Oh my, my, my, my)
[Chorus]
A#m F#
Time is always watching, he pours himself a drink
C# F
He says well I don't read the news, I'd rather use that time to think
A#m F#
How I fly on by while you fiddle with your phones
C# F A#m
Like foolish waves go crashing over unsuspecting stones
[Bridge]
A#m F# C# F#
[Verse 3]
F
(Oh my, my, my, my)
A#m F#
Communism's crumbled, cabinets have lied
C# F7
And if they told you half the truth, you'd do your best to act surprised
A#m F#
There are holes in every mountain, lines on every road
C# F A#m
There are tractors at the tree line making gypsies of the Joads
