Welcome to the land of plenty

Everything we need
[Outro]
D#
You can't see the sun rise
C# G# D#
When the buildings have grown too tall to see the skies
C# G# D#
And the smog is too thick to be pierced by your eyes
C# G# D#
By your eyes
C# G#
By your eyes
D#
You can't feel the rain fall down
C# G# D#
When you're locked in a box, nailed to the ground
C# G# D#
And the muffled cries for help are the only sound
C# G# D#
The only sound (sound, sound)
C# G# D#
The only sound, sound, sound
C# G# D#
The only sound, sound, sound
C# G# D#
The only sound (sound, sound)
