E
There's a feeling about myself
     G
that I can't understand.
         D
It's a foreboding sense
        A                  E    *glide*
that I see all around the land.
E                                 G
When the wheel of fortune turns progressively depraved,
           D                A            E
It's the manifestation of a biospheric decay.
 
        G            D           E
Keep yourself in line; there's no design.
        G      D A          E
The new paradigm is crisis time.

E                         G
Luxury was privilege and I knew it all along, 
         D                    A                     E    *glide*
But to let human reason get trumped by emotion is wrong.
E                                G
All the bonds were broken when I said I loved you so,
        D                   A                          E
But rejection of a fantasy is just a way to help you grow.
 
 
        G            D           E
Keep yourself in line; there's no design.

E                                   G
There's a feeling about myself; I feel it oh so strong.
       D                        A                           E   *pause*
It's a romantic notion and I've thought about it darn too long.
E                                   G
On the crest of progress, we can't balance on the wave
       D                          A
If the measure of success is only tallied in the lives we save.
 
 
        G            D           E
Keep yourself in line; there's no design.
        G      D A          E
The new paradigm is crisis time.
