[Verse 1]
D              Bb             C               D
automatons with business suits swinging black boxes,
D                        Bb                 C            G
sequestering the blueprints of daily life
D              Bb             C               D
content and free of care, they rejoice in morning ritual
D                                      Bb                      C                 G
as they file like drone ant colonies to their office in the sky
 
 
[Bridge]
  D             Bb                     C                        G
i don't ask questions, don't promote demonstrations,
Bb                                 C                 A
don't look for new consensus, don't stray from constitution
     E              C                 D                   A
if i pierce the complexity i won't find salvation
             Bb                  C                 A
just the bald and overt truth of the evil and deception
 
[Chorus]
         D               Bb       F G
there is an inner logic,
                D                           Bb       F G
and we're taught to keep far from it
         D                Bb        F G
it is simple and elegant,
         D                      Bb         F G
but it's cruel and antithetic
A
and there's no effort to reveal it
 
 
[Verse 2]
D              Bb             C               D
graduated mentors stroll in marbled brick porticos
    D                Bb                 C                           G
in sagacious dialog they despise their average ways
D              Bb             C               D
displaying pomp and discipline, they mold their institution
          D                      Bb                   C                    G
where they practice exclusion on the masses every day
 
 
[Bridge]

Bb                                 C                 A
don't look for new consensus, don't stray from constitution
     E              C                 D                   A
if i pierce the complexity i won't find salvation
             Bb                  C                 A

[Verse 3]
D              Bb             C               D
decorated warriors drill harmless kids on pavement
D              Bb         C                           G
simulating tyranny under red alert
D              Bb             C               D
protecting the opulent and staging moral standard
D                Bb                   C                           G
they expect redemption of character and self-worth

Bb                                 C                 A
don't look for new consensus, don't stray from constitution

no tolerance for the progressive alternative]
