G C
[Verse 1]
Am I a Glover?
Am I a Cbreeder?
Lost in the Gdetails
Raised on the Dbomb
Stuck on the Gceiling
Making up Csomeone’s numbers
For an Emoh-oDhhh-oveGrdose
[Chorus 1]
That's the Csound of desperation
That's the Emsound of desperation
A Gviolent equation from the Ccloud
That’s the Csound of desperation
That’s the Emsound of desperation
A Gfederation craving something Cloud
From a Amtone that someone paid to Dplay
On a martyr’s radio G
[Verse 2]
Struck by the Glightning
Bored by the Cthunder
Somebody’s Gfeelings
Were hurt by a Dpost
Empty of Gmeaning
But chock-full of Cstones and daggers
That were Emthro-Down by a Gghost
[Chorus 2]
That’s the Csound of desperation
That's the Emsound of desperation
A Gviolent presentation for the Ccrowd
That’s the Csound of desperation
That’s the Emsound of desperation
GPanic and persuasion playing Cloud
From a Amtone that someone paid to Dplay
On a martyr’s radio G F# Em

The Cdesperate Gmany holding Amon toEmnight

Lost in a G5haze of battered steel
Factory Ccorpses - fallow G5fields
Made to G5reap what others sowed
An imminent Cbanquet Amfor the G5crows
The taste of G5rain knows not your tongue
The sound of G5laughter - stranger still
CaroClina - do you long for the G5grandeur
Of another Fage when mountains Ammoved upon commG5and?
Before the Fbomb rendered Amsoil into sand
[Chorus]

Do you G5believe that gods or men
Led you Cto this viper G5den?
The wilderG5ness cares not for qualms
Trivial Fflags and Ambroken G5psalms
Still you G5crave old tired lines
You poor bag of G5bones in a tattered coat
CaroClina, do you long for an G5answer?
The answer Flays in the wicked Amhearts of humanG5kind
Swept up in the Fcraze of a Amlayman’s grand design

Critical G5mass and cruel machines

Clinked their G5glasses - claimed a win
They played you Flike a AmviolG5in

Final G5opus, you’re a star
CaroClina, do you long for a G5future
Praying for Frain for the Amfarmer in the G5dell
Or spitting out Fnails on a Ambroken carousel?
