Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]
And [E]when [Am]the dawn

[Verse 1]
breaks
[E]through the drums [Am]start
Beat[E]ing [Am]the morning [E]to the far[Am]m
Your grimace [E]widens and
your lips part
[Dm]Sounding the silent [Bdim]alarm[A#][Am]
And when the bells explode
[E]they sca[Am]tter
Hitching a hand unto the [E]breeze
[Bdim][G#dim][E][Am]
The grand bureaucracy
[E]grows fatter
[Dm]Whistling the old [E#]melod[Bdim]ies
[A#][D#m][A#][D#m]

[Verse 2]
[D#m]Oh- ee- oh goes the Bucking
[A#]ham jewel guard
[F#]Oh- ee- oh goes [B]the cop on the b[A#]eat
[D#m]Oh- ee- oh goes the kid in th[A#]e schoolyard
[F#]Oh- ee- oh goes [B]the kid
on [Daug]the street
[E]Hey man what's happenin' with [Am]you?
[B]I watched that episo[Em]de too
[C#]Maybe I'll get some [F#m]Chinese
[Bsus4]I'll have[B] the dumplin[E]gs
[A]No MSG please
[E]

[Verse 3]
[Am]And when the night breaks
[E]through [G#dim]they wond[E]er[G#dim][E][Am]
If all they lost was self- [E]respect[Am]
They pass the homes of greed
[G#dim]and plund[E]er
[Dm]Still, [E#]ling'[Dm]ring on,
the discon[Bdim]nect
[A#][D#m]

[Verse 4]
Oh- ee- oh sittin' [Daug]down
for [A#]the [Daug]even ing
[F#]Oh- ee- oh through t[B]he civil earth[A#]quake
[D#m]Oh- ee- oh safe in be[Daug]d and
they're dream[A#]in'
[F#]Heaven knows if they'll [B]ever [A#]awake

[Interlude 1]
[D#m][Daug][F#][B][F#][D#m][Daug][F#][B][D#m][Daug][F#][B]
[D#m][Daug][F#][D#m][Daug][B][A#][D#m][A#][F#][B][A#][D#m][A#][Daug][F#][D#m]
[B][D#m][Daug][F#]

[Verse 5]
[E]Yeah I'll have my coffee [Am]black
[B]Hey look we're bombing Ir[Em]aq[E][Em]
[C#]I guess that's the only wa[F#m]y
[Bsus4]Oh did I tell[B] yo[E]u we
[A]got Fifi [E]spayed?[Am]
And when they get to work
[E]they hear dru[Am]ms
The boom fills all the [E]empty [Am]space
They file papers [E]lada- dee-
[G#dim]dumb
[Dm]Trimming their shoebox
with [Bdim]lace
[A#][D#m]

[Verse 6]
[D#m]Oh- ee- oh but there's
[Daug]somethin' a growin'
[F#]Oh- ee- oh through the b[B]ustle and [Daug]hiss
[D#m]Oh- ee- oh fuck the la[Daug]wns
that need mowin'
[F#]Oh- ee- oh there is [B]somethin'
[A#]amiss
Oh- ee- [D#m]oh oh- ee- oh
[Am]oh- [Ebm]ee- oh[Am]
[D#m]Oh- ee- oh[Am]- ee[D#m]- oh- ee- oh
