Mist surrounds the seagulls

Dm Em Am

Christened by the storm

Music, all I hear is music .... guaranteed to please

And I look for something else

Rain drops pouring down the rooftops

Flowing in the drains

Em A

As the people run their lives

Em A D C

And their lives are run by time

F C Dm A

Fighting enemies with weapons made to kill

F C Dm A

Death is easy as a substitute for pride

Victors join together, happy in their bed

Leaving cold outside the children of the dead

Music, all I hear is music .... guaranteed to please

And I look for something else
