[Intro] B G B C B [Verse 1]
B                    C                         B
Nothing comes easier than madness in the world today

                   C           B
Mass paranoia is a mode, not a malady

                                         C                    B
Yeah, I'd like to watch a thousand cable channels but there's nothing on

                  C
And my high speed connection's monitored daily by the Pentagon

Bsus4                                 C
These things are seldom what they seem

Cmaj7      C        D        F
I'm not inclined to enjoy my dream

      B
Won't go away
[Chorus 1]
E
(No peace) No peace
(And no friends) And no friends
G
(We trace) We trace the mortal edge (With no defense)

D
To state the obvious

B             C        D
This world is perilous for us

E
No sense (No sense)
And no guide (No guide)
G
Ain't it beautiful to be alive? (Yeah, right)

D
I won't resign before the struggle ends

B       C              D
So I'll construct this sound defense
E B [Verse 2]
B                   C              B
We are the prey and culture is the predator

                              C
I'm running out of time where conditions are positional
Shadows of a doubt cast reluctance and depravity
                               C
There's got to be a way to overcome this grim reality

Bsus4                          C
Is there an option left for me?

Bsus4   C         Dsus2    F
I'm not immune to despondency

B
There's no way
[Chorus 2]
E
(No peace) No peace
(And no friends) And no friends
G
(We trace) We trace the mortal edge (with no defense)

D
To state the obvious

B             C        D
This world is perilous for us

E
No sense (no sense)
And no guide (no guide)
G
Ain't it beautiful to be alive? (Yeah, right)

D
I won't resign before the struggle ends

B          C           D
So I'll construct this sound defense
[Bridge] B C Csus2 D Eb E Bm
Am                        G                             D
There's a signpost on the corner and it keeps everybody safe

                        E    G
We were all made in the shade

Am                        G                                                 D
And your mother's in the kitchen where she's patching all the cracks in the wall

                           F
We never had a care in the world

F  Bsus4  Bmaj7  E
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
G Dsus2 Bsus B C [Outro]
E
(No shade) Too much to sacrifice
(And no light) It's hard to recognize
G
(Just black) Traps to compromise
(And white) Obscuring deadly alibis
D
(My plans) It's combinational
(Designs) The pressure so intense
B       C              D
So I'll construct this sound defense

E                                                        G
(No way) Nothing's plainer than the madness in the world today
(No sign) I must conceal myself and steal myself and break away
D
(No grace) I seek initiatives in matters that are black and white

B                  C                    D
(No sense) So I'll construct this sound defense
E
