Tomorrows Gorgeous Globe Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
The world [G]changes slightly
overnightly while you sleep
As your tired mind rides the quiet
silence of the deep
Tallying your troubles
instead of counting sheep
Thinking where we're going so
in someone else's reap
The autumn dew and yawning dudes
are warning you it's morning
Awful tube rides to the new sky scraping
block[C]s of bore[G]dom
Yes, today's a lesser day,
today's a better bet
Or today's a hedonistic lipstick
day without regret
The age which we've
just clambered out was
Bambi -legged at times
One where hope's not handed
out and seldom stars aligned
Where dopey louts smoke and
joke about with homeless men
Cos the wages that they make
mean they're just as broke as them
The future that the sunrise brings,
it sings a fresher song
And not some rosy hippie
trip where we all get along
But one where understand[C]ing and
[G]compassion reign supreme
And dreaming big won't have
the stigma that it seems to
The politically possessed and
the ruthlessly religious
They will continue to shout
about whatever is their business
But if they've good intent
and are tolerant and peaceful
Then tomorrow's gorgeous globe will
be filled with better people
We won't label lads as bastards
if they make a mad mistake
We won't label lasses sassy
sows if they're complicated
It could be little villains clad in
streetwear wearing beets
Or some beach -haired beatniks
wearing flares unwashed for weeks
But we all sleep with
the deep ability to care
And have compassion for another chap
who wishes they weren't there
Some pick fights with fireworks
and they tackle life with vigour
Some get dwarfed by problems that
get forever bigger
Some preach like pin -up prophets
nurtured by the internet
Or shy away in shadows
cast back by the 1 %
The hell -bent or the heaven
-sent or the heavily ignored
I hear you loud and clear,
here's your overdue applause
for wading through your history and
making it here alive.
Emergence isn't always visible
inside a hive.
The lively mild, the tiny wild,
the childish lost and loud,
you've made it to today and
for that you should be proud.
Ancient agonies can help us learn
but don't dictate
the way it has to be.
We can burn or then create.
Communities,
not eulogies of teens and teenage dreams
From
[Am]SE17 [G]to
N15 an[G]d in between
Liv[G]ing like an island,
self -obsessed and cold
Yeah, that was the brazen
way for many in the days of old
But a happy and empathic
future started today
It started this morning
because we're all the same and there
are only humans in our mighty human race.
