[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
EThere's power in the name
But the name's been lost for centuries
There's poison in the water
But the water tastes like honey
And we're so Athirsty we don't care where we C#mwake up tomorrow
We don't carAe, the question can Bhardly hold our Eattention
EAnd this is a song for your Ayoung men to sing Bwhen they run out of Eoptions
AYeah, when they Brun out ofE options
[Verse 2]
EThere's the faith you can give or withhold
And then there's the one true faith
There's the revolution you came for
And the one you're eventually going to get
And there's a rAoad that starts right here and leads C#mclear up to Saskatchewan
And I bArought a full tBank and a '6E7 Mustang
EAnd this is a song for yourA young women to Bwhistle
While they're Edriving at Ahigh speeds Bdown the Ehighway
[Verse 3]
EThere's wind up in the trees
There's a song on the wind
There's a message in the song
But the message is hopelessly complicated
And the Awords are written on water
And they dC#misappear before you write them down
But AI, I Bbrought the EPolaroid
EAnd this the song
And C#meverybody's got sing along
But it hasn't got a choruAs
God dBamn it aEll
