[Chorus 1]
Em        C           G            Am
Won't somebody please come up with something?
     Em               C             G         Am
'Cuz Jesus just don't seem to be impartially working
    Em       C              G           Am
And all the rest are really down in the ratings
      C            G         D
While everyone is right here waiting
 
[Verse 1]
            Em
Out in the cold
                 G*
Like a bundle of coal
                   Am
Little packets of darkness
            D     B
Wanting to grow
                    Em
Well there's nobody home
                           G*
And there's a wreck in the yard
                         Am
And maybe they're coming back
                  D            B
If we wish really hard, if we wish real hard, now
 
[Chorus 2]
Won't somebody please come up with something?
'Cuz Jesus just don't seem to be impartially working
And all the rest are really down in the ratings
But everyone is gonna keep on waiting
 
[Verse 2]
Waiting for peace
At the end of our streets
Back behind our apartments
In our passenger seats
Just a moment of bliss
Amid all of the waste
But despair and oblivion
Of our precarious race
Its ours to face, now
 
[Chorus 3]
Won't somebody please come up with something?
'Cuz Jesus just don't seem to be impartially working
And all of the rest are really down in the ratings
But everyone is still right here waiting
 
[Break]
    C                      G
Now I know nothing lasts forever
       C
So we might as well wish for a goddam fix
        D                       B
Of this dark, sick,  changing weather
Em C G D (2x)
 
[Chorus 4]
Won't somebody please come up with something?
'Cuz Jesus just don't seem to be impartially working
And all of the others can barely stand in their running
But everyone is gonna keep on waiting
 
[Chorus 5]
Won't somebody please come up with something?(4x)
 
[Ending]
Em
