[Intro]
F# A5 E5
F# A5 D5
F# A5 E5 F#5
 
[Verse 1]
F#5                                    A5
So here we are again to experience the bitter, scalding end
    E5                          F#5
And we're the only ones who can perceive it
F#5                               A5
But others sing of beauty and the story that's unfolded
   E5                           F#5
As one that deserves praise and ritual
 
 
[Chorus]
   F#   A5     E5
My pessimistic lines
     F#   A5       D5
Your superstitious lives
        F#     A5    E5         F#5
And the modern age's lies won't absolve you
        F#     A5    E5
And the professorial truth
        F#   A5          D5
And the dear clairvoyant youth
       F#         A5      E5        F#5
And of course the nightly news will deceive you (Watch out!)
 
[Instrumental Bridge]
F#5 A5 E5 F#5
F#5 A5 D5 E5 F#5
 
[Chorus]
   F#   A5     E5
My pessimistic lines
     F#   A5       D5
Your superstitious lives
        F#     A5    E5         F#5
And the modern age's lies won't absolve you
        F#     A5    E5
And the professorial truth
        F#   A5          D5
And the dear clairvoyant youth
       F#         A5      E5        F#5
And of course the nightly news will deceive you (Let's go!)
