              D
But fortunately
                                   G
Our feet are wheels that ride the maze

We've been living in a cup that's china-made
             D
I drank the kool aid
N.C.

And more is just a bore
                  G
Of plastic happiness
              A
Let's get rid of the rest of this
 D
Twist yourself to hear the truth
       G
Your laundry list is so uncouth
     D
Of things been checked off

Forgotten or left off
     G
And all the lights you never turned off
      D                       G
And i'm the man who pays
                    A        D           G

All this talk about the end is eating me up
                      D
Would you please shut up
N.C.
We've had enough

Of the apocalypse
                                 G
And its making me sick and i cannot predict
                  D
The ending of my favorite show
                     G
Or was it a book in slow motion
                          D
Like Captain Cook on the Indian Ocean
                  G
Eaten alive and great history lies in you and I
    D                      G
And I think that's ok

That is my life my hours my days
