Always in the way I think

D/F#

I've had enough of this

Why is everyone so

Verse 2:

Take me for a ride

and leave me somewhere

D/F# Em

I can live Without

feeling everybody's

D C

sorrow I want to

feel the numbness

that surrounds most

of our hearts To feel

like I am normal

while ripping

lives apart

Chorus 1:

Somewhere on the

way to degradation

I met a man who

He said "You will

not see me You'll

know the truth

when you hear this

trumpet play"

The reflection

of our greed

Never understanding
