I think [E] that our kids will probably [F#] see the [Dm] end of [C#m] humanity
[D] As we know it, cause [Bm] this world's about [E] to blow it
[A] Will they see what they [E] saw in ancient [F#] Rome?
The [F] destruction of [Bm] the home?
Will they see the [D] end of civility?
[E] Cause when [C#] morality's been blurred, [F#m] procreation seems absurd
[Bm] And human rights and freedom [E] are just words
That [C#] have lost all their [C#m] meaning
In [F#m] a world that is bleeding [Bm] like an animal in slaughter
[E] I hope that my daughters never know what it feels [F#m] like to give up
To [D] know the whole world is [C#] corrupt
To [D] realize they are really [E] on their own
But there's no one left who cares about the future
[F#] That didn't cut some [F] needless insert
It's a feeling [C#] that the human [D] race has seen the checkered [C#m] flag
And the laughs that are given [F#m] are the last ones ever driven
[Bm] And everyone who's still living [E] knows that
It's [C#] a shame that the earth will [F#m] live on but can't give birth
[Bm] To a baby planet where we [E] could start over again
[A]
We've [E] been divided, we've [F#m] been led
Like [F] a chicken without a head
[D] Running frantically on my [E] thinking but nothing made a fly
[Dm] [C#m]
[E] [C#m] History is just an [F#] alibi
It's believing [Bm] every lie that it's ever dared [E] to write
It's [C#] so much easier to see than [F#m] complex reality
A [Bm] lifetime full of [E] misery and light
So we tell our daughters and our [F#] sons
[Dm] That they're not the final ones [D] to see this planet
[B] As a decent [E] place to live
[A] We use our [E] telescope
We give them [D] faith and give them hope
Anything to [C#] help them know
[D] With their future [E] cause there's no [A] alternative
[Am] [F] [E]
[Am]
[F] [E]
[Am]
Kings and [F] queens rule the land
There's [G#] more and more lines drawn in the sand
[Am] Palms are crooks, castles [A] are ropes
It's too bad we live [F] books
Written for the slow classes to [G#] introduce morality
Had nothing to [Am] do with reality
But then again, who and for who?
We [F] read the park around for lunch
Old [D] testaments [G#] for a snack
And [A] read the lullaby overboard bed
There's no more people to do [Am] than your only thought is [F] faith
The Bible is in our place
[E] It's [Am] terrible, it's not real
Because there's no stories left to preach
There's no [F] life lessons left to teach anyone [E] Why bother?
[Am] Who are we?
Are we the intellects or the insects?
We're not the ones who will [F] ever know the answer
It's [E] impossible for us to imagine what's right in front of [Am] us
Because of what makes us, [A] we are human
But being human only [C] lets us see a little farther than animals
[F] The passion [D] from spending most of your [E] life working
Is our chemical
[A] We want [Am] to be better
[G] Pain, fear, love, morality
[F] They're just chemical reactions
[G#] We can be anyone's enemy
[Am] We can be anything we want
[F] It really just comes down to us [E] Empowered
[Am] I'm the last person on the earth to give a shit
[F] I do have a huge life [E] mission
It's the last one
[A] The last person on this planet
[F] To fuck the dead and die thinking not about why didn't anyone care
But why her life was so unfair It's time
It needs to be said
I'm sorry to be the one to inform you
That man and womankind
Has unfortunately been [E] pronounced dead
