C                  Dm
Tragedies killing disasters like clockwork
Am                   F
Maybe I'm just jaded but I don't see the beauty anymore
C                       Dm
And so I mourn for every child born
Am                    F
Into this ugly and unforgiving world


C                      Dm
We're dropping' bodies droppin' bombs
Am            F
No remorse no restraint at all
C                           Dm
What's left for the ones who come after us
Am                   F
Bloody rubble and a dream coated in dust


C                   Dm
How much further do we plan to take it
Am                  F
Slash and burn till the planet lies vacant
C                                  Dm
And I've always heard that when it rains it pours
Am
If we let the cops pull us over
F
Next they'll bust down our doors


C                      Dm
The prisons are loaded the quotas are met
Am                        F
We're starving in gutters and drowning in debt
C                       Dm
The system has faltered there's no help to call for
Am                      F
Let's open the toolbox and build something better


CHORUS
C                     Dm                     Am
god I hope we haven't buried ourselves too deep
                      F                      C
Beneath a mountain of abhorrent ideas and greed
                    Dm                    Am
And I really wish I had some hope for the future
                   F
but I'm sorry gotta say I don't (x2)


C    Dm      
2053 missiles deployed
Am
Soon we'll be shifting through
F
the ashs of a planet destroyed
C                        Dm
The human race is just a parasitic toxic disease
Am                            F
We're paving over forests and we're poisoning the seas


(Pick up tempo)
C              
A wasteland what once was pure
Dm           
Decrepit now we've torn the sails
Am
A travesty a wasted chance
F
The bridge to growth was built to fail
C
A hourglass is running low
Dm
Rusted gears begin to slow
Am
When this modern daydream does collapse
F
We'll all be begging for the past 



CHORUS
C                     Dm                     Am
god I hope we haven't buried ourselves too deep
                      F                      C
Beneath a mountain of abhorrent ideas and greed
                    Dm                    Am
And I really wish I had some hope for the future
                   F
but I'm sorry gotta say I don't
