How are things in your little world, I hope they're going well and you
are too
D Bm G A
Do you still see the same old crowd, the ones who used to meet every
Friday?
D Bm
I'm really sorry that I can't be there
G A
But work comes first I'm sure you'll understand
D Bm
Things are really taking off for me
G A Bm
Business is thriving and I'm showing a profit and
Bm A D Bm A D
And in any case, it wouldn't be the same
Bm D Bm D
Cause we've all grown up and we've got our own lives
Bm D Bm D
And the values that we had once upon a time
Bm A
Seem stupid now 'cause the rent must be paid
Bm A Bm A D
And some bonds severed and others made
Bm A D Bm A D
Dit dit dit dit dit do n do dit dit dit dit dit do n do

Cos the burning sky keeps a burning bright

And as long as it does, and it always will
Bm D Bm D
There's no time for dreams when commerce calls
Bm A
And the taxman's shouting 'cause he wants his dough
Bm A Bm A D
And the wheels of finance won't begin to slow
Bm A D Bm A D
Dit dit dit dit dit do n do dit dit dit dit dit do n do

Dit dit dit dit di do dit dit dit di do, dit dit dit dit di do dit dit

And it's only us realists who are gonna come through
Bm A
Cause there's only one power higher than that of truth
Bm A D Bm A D D Bm A D Bm A D Bm A
D Bm A
And that's the burning sky, it's the burning sky
