G# A   G#
I long for the summer,
           C#m             A           G#
I long for the sun, gently touching my face.
     A       G#           A    G#
I’ll open my eyes, let it burn every splinter,
               F#m           D         G#
Unleash desert storms on its way to my heart.

    G#   A     G#
And I had this coming
C#m             G#
Every day of my life,
A       G#     A     G#
This is where I stop fighting,
C#m  A    G#
Eyes open wide.

G#
I once had blue eyes, hungry and wise,
             E               C#          G#
Now they are black from this dark age of lies.

We’re all privatized, industrialized,
         E           C#           G#
We capitalize on the beams in our eyes.

G#
It’s all in the eyes.

G#     A       G#
Eyes - tearing with sorrow,
             C#m       A           G#
Burning with anger and passion and lust,
    A             G#
The swift wind of thought
   A       G#
Of wildness and laughter,
              F#m         D              G#
The soil of defiance, the firm ground of trust.

(We had this coming every day of our lives.)
(We should start fighting for eyes open wide.)

         G#               A            G#
But I am put here in this world gone insane
                       C#m
Where everything’s for sale:
                                G#
From nature over stars down to DNA.
           A      G#
Then I can gladly say:
                    A           G#
I’d be the first to break that norm
Any day, any way,
        C#m
And the last to join the ranks
        A
To hunt down the daily threat
   G#
Or any other brand of prey.

G#
We once had blue eyes, probing the skies,
             E              C#          G#
Now they are blackened from this modern life.

We’re all privatized, industrialized,
              E           C#          G#
A failure - offensive and sore to the eye.

             G#          E
   From this dark age of treason
      C#m             G# A G# A G# A G# A B
   We all know how to cry,
   E       C#m          B
   Then we learn how to smile, oh,
       A
   How to smile.
   E         C#m         G# A G# A G# A
   We’re all telling the truth,
   G#     A B  E
   Tell us the truth!
           C#m          B
   Then we learn how to lie,
              A
   Oh, how we lie,
     G#
   Now we lie.

Instrumental: G# | G# | G# | G#

         G#
When you bow your heads tomorrow

At the world we build today,

I want you to remember
                       A
That I stood my ground
         G#      A
And said no, say no.

       G#
I said no…
    A
Say no!
       G#
I said no…
    C#m
Say no!
      G#
I said no…
    E
Say no!
    C#
Say no!
Say no!
