[Intro 1]
[A][Am][G][Am]

[Verse 1]
Hands where my [Am]eyes can [A]see them,
sorta like it's
[G]Woodstock, circa [Am]1979,
[G]my people the [Am]vibe is peaceful
Kinda [G]see a yellow submarine [Am]color scheme,
nevermind [G]the reason
Lucy's [Am]in the sky with her dilated e[G]yes,
while the [Am]rockin' horse people eat marshmallow [C]pies
[Am]Not telling [A]lies, neither [G]the revolution
[Am]or repentant apocalypse gets t[G]elevised
[Am]An d I'll be s[A]itting in the pr[G]ess box,
twittering status [A]updates, [G]current moves illegitimate
[Am]I came to soften the hearts of[G] the hardest hit,
[Am]an archists and arsonists barking at[A] the parsonage
[Am]Kill with kindness, let them [G]align, [Am]meek,
learned, cheek turn, opposite is [G]spineless
[Am]But if I turn and you strike a[G]gain,
then me and you are stepping outside, [C]my friend
[Am]A tr[C]ue t[Am]ale, the cool heads[G] prevail
But don't think [A]I don't
speak al[G]pha [A]male[Am]
I got a cure for the common cold
It's the [G]heart of gold
[Am]Don't stop where the bombs are stoned
The cure for the cancer
The [G]gold standard
[Am]Ammo is not the [G]answer
I want less, [A]less practic[G]al
[A]Less [G]best [Am]friends buried at
Ar[A]lington
[G]National
[Am]Less, less dystopia,
[G]less [Am]bumper sticker religion and less [G]mass opiates
Less, post [Am]-Alexander
Driftstein attempts to treat
this like a game of whisk
[C]Les[Am]s dictators, less inv[G]aders,
less sensa[Am]tionalist haters and post -eugenical racism
[G]Less [Am]of my o[G]wn opinions,
[Am]less of my ego and [G]cold intentions
[Am]Less of my me first, less of my [G]me jerk,
reti[Am]cent veteran to pessim[G]ism [C]needs work
[Am]And I'm never gonna settle f[G]or less
Than the [A]breath [Am]of
Jacob's
God in [G]my chest
[Am]No, I'm never gonna settle f[G]or less
Than
[Am]Lucy in the sky with her fancy [G]dress
[Am]I got a cure for the common cold
It's a [G]heart of gold
[Am]Don't stop when a [G]bomb's [A]a zone
A [Am]cure for the cancer
The [G]gold standard
[Am]Ammo is not the [G]answer[Am][A][Am]
I [A]want [G]that, [A]hands where my eyes can [A]see them [Am]I wa[A]nt that,
man, never mind the reasons
[A]We [Am]want an[A]swers, about a panther
We want [A]action,
cue car cams and a [Am]camera
Everybody smile for the camera
[A]Kill for the [Am]common [A]cold,
[Am]it's[A] the heart[G] of gold
[A]Don't [Am]stop where the bombs are sold
Care for the cancer, the [G]gold standard,
[A]ammo is not the answer
I [G]got a [Am]cure for the common cold, it's a heart of gold,
[A]don't sto[Am]p when the bomb's a zone
[Am]Care for the cancer, the gold standard,
[A]ammo is not the answer
