[Intro]
C Bb Am G# G7 (X2)
[Verse 1]
C Bb I was hoping we'd make real progress - Am G# G7 But it seems we have lost the power C Bb Any tiny step of advancement Am G# G7 Is like a raindrop falling into the ocean - C Em We're running on the spot - always have - always will? F G# G7 We're just the next generation of the emotionally crippled.
[Verse 2]
C Bb Though we keep piling up the building blocks Am G# G7 The structure never seems to get any higher C Bb Because we keep kicking out the foundations Am G# G7 And stand useless while our lives fall down. C Em I believe in life - and I believe in love F G# G7 But the world in which I live in - keeps trying to prove me wrong.
