[VERSE 1] (Slowly pick through the chords)
I Athink that our Ekids will probably F#msee
The end Dof humaniC#mty, as we Dknow it
Cause this Bmworld's about to Eblow it.
Will they Asee what they Esaw in ancient F#mRome,
The deDstruction of the Bhome.
Will they C#msee the end of Dcivility?E  
Cause when moC#mrality's been blurred,
ProcreF#mation seems absurd
And Bmhuman rights and freedom are just Ewords,
That have C#mlost all their meaning
In a F#mworld that is bleeding.
Like an Bmanimal in slaughter,
EI hope that my daughters never Aknow
[VERSE 2] (Fast Power Chords)
What it Efeels like to give F#mup
To know the Dwhole world is coC#mrrupt.
To realize Dthey are really Bmon their own
And there's Eno one left who Acares
About the Efuture
Infected F#mcuts don't need a Dsuture
There's a Bmfeeling that the C#mhuman race,
Has Dseen the checkered Eflag
And the C#mlaps that are given
Are the F#mlast ones ever driven.
And Bmeveryone who's still living knows Ethat
It's a C#mshame that the earth
Will live F#mon but can't give birth
To a Bmbaby planet where we could Estart over again.
AWe've been Edivided, we've been F#mbled,
Like a Dchicken without a C#mhead.
Running Dfrantically aBmmuck
Taking but Enot giving a fuck.
[SOLO] (Someone else tab that)
A  E  F#m  D
Bm  C#m  D  E
[VERSE 3] (Fast Power Chords)
C#mHistory is just an aliF#mbi
It's believing every Bmlie
Man has ever dared to Ewrite.
It's so much C#measier to see
That comF#mplex reality
A Bmlifetime full of misery and Eblight.
So we Atell our Edaughters and our F#msons
That they're Dnot the final C#mones
To see this Dplanet as a Bmdecent place to Elive
We Ause our teleEscope
To give them F#mfaith, to give them Dhope
AnyBmthing to help them C#mcope
With their Dfuture cause there's Eno alternative
