This morning [Dm] I woke up in [Am] a curfew.
Oh [Dm] God, I [E] was a prisoner of fear.

[Am] [F] How many rivers do we [Am] have to cross
before [D] we can talk to [E] the boss?
[Am] All that we got [Dm] we seem [Am] to have lost.
We [Dm] must have really [E] paid a cost.
That's why we're gonna [F] be burning and eluding [Am] tonight.
Say we're gonna burn and elude.
[Dm] Burning and eluding tonight.

One more thing.
Burning more pollution tonight.

Oh, stop them.
Give [A#] me the food and [Am] let me grow.
