B C    B
I long for the summer,
           Em              C           B
I long for the sun, gently touching my face.
     C       B            C    B
I’ll open my eyes, let it burn every splinter,
               Am            F         B
Unleash desert storms on its way to my heart.

    B    C     B
And I had this coming
Em              B
Every day of my life,
C       B      C     B
This is where I stop fighting,
Em   C    B
Eyes open wide.

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

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

B
It’s all in the eyes.

B      C       B
Eyes - tearing with sorrow,
             Em        C           B
Burning with anger and passion and lust,
    C             B
The swift wind of thought
   C       B
Of wildness and laughter,
              Am          F              B
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.)

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

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

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

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

Instrumental: B | B | B | B

         B
When you bow your heads tomorrow

At the world we build today,

I want you to remember
                       C
That I stood my ground
         B       C
And said no, say no.

       B
I said no…
    C
Say no!
       B
I said no…
    Em
Say no!
      B
I said no…
    G
Say no!
    E
Say no!
Say no!
