[Verse 1]
Fm C#
Well I remember you, you haven't changed a bit
G# C Fm
You've still got that sadness, it's hanging from your lips
Fm C#
You point your tattooed fingers at the fish
G# C
As they swim off to the sunset so freely
(Oh there they go, there there they go)
Fm C#
With the contents of your pockets you give surnames like Shabazz
G# C Fm
Treat them like your children and you dress them up in drag
C#
You're all down passing out predictions on the ave
G# C7
To conclusions of the book we are both reading
(Somewhere between the spines)
[Chorus]
Fm C#
They say time is always watching, he pours himself a drink
G# C
He says well I don't read the news, I'd rather use that time to think
Fm C#
How I fly on by while you fiddle with your phones
G# C Fm
Like foolish waves go crashing over unsuspecting stones
[Bridge]
Fm C# Fm C# Cm Fm
[Verse 2]
Fm C#
You look into the mirror blowing kisses at your flaws
G# C Fm
Speaking broken Spanish drinking goat's milk through a straw
Fm C#
The twinkle from your eyes is said to stimulate the gods
G# C
Or the businessmen who idolize your lunchbox
(Saying what's he got, well what's he got)
Fm C#
You watch the soldiers starving from your bleachers in the shade
G# C Fm
On Halloween you heed their knocks and feed them hand grenades
Fm C#
You'll suffer through Martinis while Frank Sinatra's played
G# C7
On the speakers there to drown out the gunshots
(Oh my, my, my, my)
[Chorus]
Fm C#
Time is always watching, he pours himself a drink
G# C
He says well I don't read the news, I'd rather use that time to think
Fm C#
How I fly on by while you fiddle with your phones
G# C Fm
Like foolish waves go crashing over unsuspecting stones
[Bridge]
Fm C# G# C#
[Verse 3]
C
(Oh my, my, my, my)
Fm C#
Communism's crumbled, cabinets have lied
G# C7
And if they told you half the truth, you'd do your best to act surprised
Fm C#
There are holes in every mountain, lines on every road
G# C Fm
There are tractors at the tree line making gypsies of the Joads
