"Pendulum" Lyrics & Chords:
GI been walking a tightrope between fact and fiction
EmI been wrestling with demons in small bottled prisons
CI been talking with sinners who claim to be Christian
DI been shouting at leaders who claim to be listening
G& the pendulum swings from the left to the right
Emand momentum increases the need for the fight
CLike a moment of blindness in a lifetime of sight
D& I am caught somewhere in the Gmiddle
GI saw a president blind to the needs of his people
EmI saw a camel that passed through the eye of a needle
CI saw a group of old men whose money was evil
DI saw a cross breaking free from the cage of a steeple
GI saw beggars and cripples dying in squalor
EmI saw a son whose sins had exceeded his father
CI saw a nation of sleepers whose dreams were forgotten
D& a bushel of apples from a tree that was rotten
G& the pendulum swings from the left to the right
Emas momentum increases the need for the fight
CLike a blindfold when its time to walk towards the light
D& I am lost somewhere in the Gmiddle
GI heard the echo of suffering in the valley of laughter
EmI heard the rumble of earthquakes far under the water
Cheard a court jester whose forked tongue was twisted
DWho told us of dangers that never existed
GI heard voices that claimed to be moral and righteous
EmWhose lies and deceit were all dark and contagious
CI heard talk of a country that valued its freedom
DBut when I protested I was arrested and beaten
G& the pendulum swings from the left to the right
EmAs momentum increases the weight and the height
CBut if nobody's listening, is anyone right?
D& I can't seem to find the key to the Griddle
GI met a young woman with a baby inside her
EmI looked but there wasn't a safe place to hide her
CI met an old man with a face like a mirror
DHe showed me his sadness so I could see clearer
GI met an arrogant leader who robs us and cheats us
EmHe pretends that his orders come directly from Jesus
CWhen he sends out our children to strange foreign soil
DTo kill for the right to monopolize oil
GI'm a raising my voice 'gainst the house of derision
EmThat murders our freedom with short-sighted vision
CI'll sing a new song about civilization
D& the palace of wisdom and the death of a nation
GI'll lift up the veil that's hiding the holy
Em& remind all the people that change happens slowly
CI'll scream out a name to the echoes of Heaven
D& pray that the world don't end up where its heading
G& the pendulum swings from the left to the right
Emas momentum decreases the end is in sight
CThere's a lunatic handling our future tonight
D& I am lost somewhere in the Gmiddle

"Pendulum" Lyrics & Chords:

I been walking a tightrope between fact and fiction

I been wrestling with demons in small bottled prisons

I been talking with sinners who claim to be Christian

I been shouting at leaders who claim to be listening

& the pendulum swings from the left to the right

and momentum increases the need for the fight

Like a moment of blindness in a lifetime of sight

D G

& I am caught somewhere in the middle

I saw a president blind to the needs of his people

I saw a camel that passed through the eye of a needle

I saw a group of old men whose money was evil

I saw a cross breaking free from the cage of a steeple

I saw beggars and cripples dying in squalor

I saw a son whose sins had exceeded his father

I saw a nation of sleepers whose dreams were forgotten

& a bushel of apples from a tree that was rotten

& the pendulum swings from the left to the right

as momentum increases the need for the fight

Like a blindfold when its time to walk towards the light

D G

& I am lost somewhere in the middle

I heard the echo of suffering in the valley of laughter

I heard the rumble of earthquakes far under the water

heard a court jester whose forked tongue was twisted

Who told us of dangers that never existed

I heard voices that claimed to be moral and righteous

Whose lies and deceit were all dark and contagious

I heard talk of a country that valued its freedom

But when I protested I was arrested and beaten

& the pendulum swings from the left to the right

As momentum increases the weight and the height

But if nobody's listening, is anyone right?

D G

& I can't seem to find the key to the riddle

I met a young woman with a baby inside her

I looked but there wasn't a safe place to hide her

I met an old man with a face like a mirror

He showed me his sadness so I could see clearer

I met an arrogant leader who robs us and cheats us

He pretends that his orders come directly from Jesus

When he sends out our children to strange foreign soil

To kill for the right to monopolize oil

I'm a raising my voice 'gainst the house of derision

That murders our freedom with short-sighted vision

I'll sing a new song about civilization

& the palace of wisdom and the death of a nation

I'll lift up the veil that's hiding the holy

& remind all the people that change happens slowly

I'll scream out a name to the echoes of Heaven

& pray that the world don't end up where its heading

& the pendulum swings from the left to the right

as momentum decreases the end is in sight

There's a lunatic handling our future tonight

D G

& I am lost somewhere in the middle
