AmWashed my face in the Frivers of Cempire
Made my Fbed from a Ccardboard GcrateG  
Down Emin the city of AmQuartzAm  
AmNo news, no Fnew reCgrets
Tossed a FSusan B. Cover my Gshoulder
And Fprayed it would Emrain and Dmrain
SubFmerge the Emwhole western Dmstates
Called a Clast fair Fdeal
With an Camerican Fzeal

Amtake the story of Fcarpenter Cmike
Who dropped his Ftools and his Ckeys and Gleft
And Fheaded out as Emfar as he Dmcould
past the Fcities and Emgated neighborDmhoods.
And he Cslept neath the Fstars
Wrote Cdown what he FdreamtF  
And he Cbuilt a maFchine for Emno-one to AmseeAm  
Then took Gflight first Flight of new Cmorning

[Verse]
BmLove the run but not the race
BmAll alone in a silent way
EmWorld drifts in and the world's a Bmstranger
In a light, eGclipsed and aDlienatBmed
In a time, Goccupied and inDvaded
GCan't tell what's rightF#, better hit the grBmound running
BmIn the hills where the tall weed grows
BmHands are tied and won't let go
EmCan't escape this place without leaving the world bBmehind
In a lightG, ashamed and humiliDatedBm  
In a time, sacrifiGced for the sake Dof trade
GThe soul is bent, feeAls the weight oDf truth
BmFalling throughG  
GLeft behind, Ano choice but to Drun to the Bmmountains
GWhere no poppies grow, yAou have to hit the ground Bmrunning
BmIn a light, paraGlyzed and spirits faDdingBm  
BmOut of time, must decidGe to fall or runD  
GInto the eyeA, of the stDorm no sign or omenBm  
GMake it right, Aor fall to the otheDr side
Where fields are BmburningG  
From the day you're borAn
We always hit the ground ruBmnning.

G[VGerCseC]
AlCberto hits his brother on the back of the Ghead
Glooks to the north as he starts to get Cup
Cbrother's still sleepy, grumbles "it's not light Gyet,"
"if Gyou want a new life, what's a few minutes Cwait?"
[Chorus]
darkness on the Froad and over the Cland
into the Glaws and out of the Chands
from those with so Fmuch, and no show of Cheart
you'd think it'd be Gcrazy, Gmmm..to ask for a Csmall partC

G G C C
G[VGerCseC]
Cspotted an eagle in the middle of a Glake
Gresting on cactus and feasting on Csnakes
The Cwaters recede as the dump closes Gin
reGvealing a whole lake of sleeping chilCdren
[Chorus]
poison in the Fstream that flows to the Csea
out on the Gwaves that crash within Creach
Those with so Fmuch, so little to Cfear
you'd think it'd be Gcrazy, Gto be so far aCway, yet so near
[Bridge]
Dmsome say, a Fnew day will Amshine here CMmmm
DmOn these caFtastrophes and Ehorrors of Fmisfortune FMmmmm
all across the Cwire
[Verse]
AlCberto y Hermano on the Cco.C/Byo..C/A#te's Gtrail
Mmmm and Gdodging the border paCtrol
Cout in the wastelands wandering for Gdays
the Gfuture looks bleak with no sign of cChange
[Chorus]
darkness in the Feye, down in the Csoul
all across the Gwire, to those in conCtrol
holding so mFuch, with no show of Cheart
you think it'd be cGrazy, GMmmm to watch it all Cfall apart
Oh Fwatch it all Gfall Capart
