[C] 1, 2, 3, 4
[E] [C]
[E] [Ab] [C]
[E] [Am]
[Ab] [C] I'm a Soviet Rebellious
[A] I seize [Ab] near Russian [C] power
[E] We escape from the bottom
[A] We strike a range of [Ab] fire
In the ocean
[C] We are the [Bb] sons of the we have always known
[F] We're just the next generation
[Ab] Of the alternate twin [C] brothers
[E] [Am]
[Ab] [C] What we do wrong
[E] [A] Is such a madness
[Ab] We can't deny
[C] As we keep [Bb] kicking out the [A] lavators
It's not useless [Abm] for our lives
[C] I'm a leader [Em] guy
[F] The world is my jive
Every [Ab] desire to come [C] along
Ba ba ba [Bb] ba ba ba
Ba ba [A] ba ba ba ba
[Ab] [G] [C]
[Bb] [A]
[Abm] [E] I'm in the posture
[A] To speak of society
[E] You can't see further
Than [G] the voice of Robin [F] Glass
I'll never see the shot
[G] In the air so far away
[C]
[E] [Am]
[E] This is the [C] culmination of this world
[E] [Am]
[Ab] This is our life
[C] Ba ba ba ba [Bb] ba ba
[Am]
[E] [C]
[Bb] [A]
[Ab] [D] [E] This life's [A] secret's a rancid sin
So [E] turn the fully crossed [G] way
Stacking it strong
[F] We're too damn low
[G]
[C]
[F]
[Ab] When we catch [C] up
And
[E] if he's blind, blind
[Dm] He's black and takes a gun
[Ab] When you do your [C] best
We're under the [E] spot
Though we have always known
[Dm] We're just the next generation
[Ab] Of the alternate [C] twin brothers
[Am]
[Ab] So none [C] of us was
[E] This [Am]
[Ab] is how long [C] it was
None [E] [F]
[Ab] [C]
[Dm] [Am]
[Ab] [C] of us was
[Gm] [Am]
[G] [C] Blue skies
[Eb] [Gm] [A]
