One, two, one, two, three, four (C) (F) (3x)

Verse 1

We must (C) talk in every telephone, get (F) eaten off the (C) web
We must rip out all the epilogues from the (F) books that we have (G) read

We must (C) stare, we must (G) stare, we must (C) stare

Verse 2

We must (C) take all of the medicines too (F) expensive now to (C) sell
Set fire to the preacher who is (F) promising us (G) Hell
Into the (C) ear of every anarchist that (F) sleeps but doesn't dream
We must (C) sing, we must (G) sing, we must (C) sing
(And it'll go like this, all right...)

Chorus

(F) While my mother (G) waters plants, my (C) father loads his (F) gun

We must (C) run, we must (G) run, we must (C) run

We must (C) hang up in the belfry where the (F) bats and moonlight (C) laugh
We must stare into a crystal ball and only (F) see the (C) past
Into the (C) caverns of tomorrow with just our (F) flashlights and our love
We must (C) plunge, we must (G) plunge, we must (C) plunge

Chorus

(F) Oh, my morning's (C) coming back, (C) the whole world's waking (F) up
All the city buses (G) swimming past, I'm (Am) happy just be (F) cause
I (G) found out I am really no (C) one
