Tongue gone cold Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]What bothers me is that
bad things happen
and nobody does anything about it
and it seems as if they've all gone to [Bm]sleep.
[F][G][B][C#][B][E][B][G]
[Bm][G][F][G]
[Bm]Burn[G]ing book[F#]s were stocked for h[G]ours
[F]in the pal[G]ms of my hands
Babies spinning ducks,
[F]tortured ran[G]ge of [F#]man[Eb][G][F][G]
I can't feel a clock, I'm [F]sleeping [G]past,
[Ebm]I have to go to [B]confection,
Because I can't move, I can't move,
I'm [Bm]stuck.[B][F#]
[B][F#][B][F#][B][F#][G]
Oblivious to what [F#]it is to be [G]curious,
run to a medical spe[F#]cimen,
[B]paranoi[G]d mad[F#] calisthenics.[B]
Oblivious to what it is to be curious,
Come to a [F#]medical specialist,
[B]Paranoi[G]d, mad[F#], deviant.
[Bm]Dige[G]sting my eyes,
Digging [F]out [F#]my soul,
Getting [G]high on what they roll,
My life [F]sins for my [G]gold,[F#]
Re[G]linquish the rice,
And banish my fate
My raw head, bloody bones
Surround me, [F#]poison
[G]In a steady [Em]rate[G][F#][C#][G]
[F#][B][F#][B][F#][B]
[F#]
Hope to live years to what it is
Keep it curious
Spoke to a medical specimen
[E#]Para[F#]noid, mad, c[B]alis[G]thenics
Oblivious to what [Em]it is to be curious
[G]Spoke to a medical specimen
[Em]Paranoid, mad, calis[F#]thenics[Em][G]
Crucified genocide we've
been kinda [F#]hard[G]
Maggots otherwise crucified genocide
And my tongue has gone [F#]cold
[B][F#][B][F#][Bm][F#][G]
Oblivious to what it is to be curious
Went to a medical specimen
Paranoid man, killer's devious
White spots in the wake,
I'm in a cave of despair
Past hope of lost grass,
tryna claw some hair
As weeping clouds afloat,
my neck broke in a row
I've got no [Em]time, [G]I'm cold
I've got no time, I'm cold
My tongue has gone cold
Maybe as to what it is,
keep it curious
Scrubbed to a medical [Em]specimen
[G]Paranoid, mad, careless, devious
Oblivious to what it is,
keep it curious
Scrubbed to a medical [Em]specimen
[G]Paranoid, [F#]mad, careless, [G]devious
Oblivious to what it is,
keep it curious
Scrubbed to a medical [Eb]specimen
[Em]Paranoid, [G]mad, careless, devious
Oblivious, Oblivious,
[C]Oblivious.
When [G]I grow up I want to be a soldier
so I can get [G]paid and shoot people
and get money [G]for that too.
[G][F][G]
[G][G][G]
It's good to be alive [G]on this day.
The war still grinds on, taking [F]its toll.
Check my mail.
Opportunities for organizing
[G]and rebuilding a democratic culture
are very, very high, and it can be done,
but it's certainly not
going to happen by itself.
It's going to take the same kind
of energy and activism
that it's taken to lift [G]us out of
feudalism and slavery
and every other [F#]hor ror
in the past.
I've realized for a long time
that the West Indies
are of very little importance to you.
Why do you work so hard to
alienate us?
I'm sure that you in England are convinced you
know what suits us better than we do.
Yeah, I know.
Ain't nobody like the North.
[G]Warn your children,
don't buy Negro records.
You're such [G]a buzzy...lul.
I didn't know I was black
when I was born.
I learnt I was black.
So my wife taught me I was black
by not letting me come over
their house at night.
We own three quarters of
the world.
owned India, Pakistani,
South Africa, Nigeria.
We own three quarters of the world.
No, no.
Check my mail.
He's a hypocrite.
He criticises the West on the one hand
and enjoys the Western
lifestyle on the other.
I say God is great.
24 -hour news and information.
Dad, you told me,
you said you want me to tell the
truth.
Now, didn't you say that?
You're right. He's a hypocrite.
Not true. He's fool. You're right.
As I was saying, true kindness will inspire
us to lend a helping hand
wherever we find we can be of service.
I give you this word of advice.
Lord, keep me from getting talkative.
Of there's conflicts within the races,
and that's created by people.
I actually believe
that we were all created differently,
with a vision that one day
we'd all interbreed
and create just one race,
so we don't have to have all
this pathetic kind of hatred
and, you know, every race believing
that they're the chosen one,
which says to me that we're all
the chosen ones anyway.
And, you know, one race,
it stops so much friction.
Nicer vision
than what a lot of other
people talk about,
surely.
