CPull back the curtains, Gsnap off the sFtring.
CThis tired and lonely man is Goffering eFverything.
CTie up the main mast, boys, wGe’re going into the Fstorm.
                             C                  G  F(sustained hit)
Passion’s not found in roses, but it’s in the thorns.

Farewell to the reckless, I want the real thing.
This life is knocking, son, open up and let the truth ring.
Posing is a past time. Ring a bell for selfishness.
I’m through with fallacy. Whatever happened to progress?

To all my brothers, to all my brothers’ sons.
You can’t find freedom in money, it has to be won.
Spin your wheels in this graveyard; build your casket of chrome.
You’re on a road to nowhere, boy, and it’s taking you home.
