[Verse]
GSchopenhauer in DBerlin
Watched the meCtropolis collapse to the Amvillage
It's a Gsign of the times that Dwe're in
That we're Cthinking along the same Amline he did
So we Gclimb to the top of the Dbridge
Where the Cwhite flag was raised in Amdefiance, oh!
It's a Gtruce. It's a loss. It's a Dwin
It's a ClandCsliC/BdeC/A  G  
[Pre-Chorus]
Will you Cmaj7pay for my flu shot?
I'm Emimmune, but my Gheart's not, and I'm Dcold
Will we Cmaj7blink like the charge on a battery
Blinking Emout together? Open question
[Break]
G D C Am
G D G Am
[Verse]
GSchopenhauer on the DGreyhound
Drinking CDrano from an open conAmtainer
Saw the Gwisdom in keeping his Dgaze fixed
At the Cphone linesAm  
Then GSchopenhauer spat his Dteeth out
In the Chopes that was collectively Amkinder
On a Gnight of drunken karaDoke
And young Ctired Ameyes
[Pre-Chorus]
When we Cmaj7dream we connect in communion
Our Emslurred words spoke we Gbackwards the Dmore
We sang "CLa la la, la la la la la, regiGstration documents!"
Closed our Emeyes, and passed Gout on the Dfloor
If we Cmaj7cling to the cold star
N.C.
Will we freeze together? Open question.

[Verse]
GSchopenhauer in New York DCity
Was conCflicted in his hatred of AmHegel
But his Garrogance conquered his Dpity
And he Cflew out
On the Gfirst flight his sister could Dfind him
And he Cslept all the way back to AmTegel
Where the Glanding lights threatened to Dblind him
Until they Cblew out
[Pre-Chorus]
I canCmaj7't sleep. We got older
We were Emcool. Now we're Gcold and aDlone
But if we sing "CLa la la, la la la la la!" will our wild democracy
EmEcho out forever? Open question.
[Outro]
GIf the universal Dwill blanks your CmindAm  
GIf the population Dcatalyst deCclinesAm  
Please remember: GSchopenahuer in BerDlin was not unCkindAm  
He had GeyesG/F#, he had Emeyes, Cjust like Gours

Schopenhauer in Berlin

Watched the metropolis collapse to the village

It's a sign of the times that we're in

That we're thinking along the same line he did

So we climb to the top of the bridge

Where the white flag was raised in defiance, oh!

G D

It's a truce. It's a loss. It's a win

C C C/B C/A G

It's a landslide

[Pre-Chorus]

Blinking out together? Open question

G D

Schopenhauer on the Greyhound

C Am

Drinking Drano from an open container

G D

Saw the wisdom in keeping his gaze fixed

At the phone lines

G D

Then Schopenhauer spat his teeth out

C Am

In the hopes that was collectively kinder

G D

On a night of drunken karaoke

C Am

And young tired eyes

[Pre-Chorus]

Cmaj7

When we dream we connect in communion

Em G D

Our slurred words spoke we backwards the more

C G

We sang "La la la, la la la la la, registration documents!"

Em G D

Closed our eyes, and passed out on the floor

Cmaj7

If we cling to the cold star

N.C.

Will we freeze together? Open question.

Schopenhauer in New York City

C Am

Was conflicted in his hatred of Hegel

G D

But his arrogance conquered his pity

And he flew out

G D

On the first flight his sister could find him

And he slept all the way back to Tegel

G D

Where the landing lights threatened to blind him

Until they blew out

[Pre-Chorus]

Cmaj7

I can't sleep. We got older

Em G D

We were cool. Now we're cold and alone

But if we sing "La la la, la la la la la!" will our wild democracy

Echo out forever? Open question.

G D C Am

G G/F# Em C G

He had eyes, he had eyes, just like ours
