The Weakerthans - Confessions of a futon revolutionist

Held like water in your s^Ehaking hands ^{A E} are all the s^Amall defeats a d^Eay demands. ^{A E} 10-^A6 or 9-^B5 trying, dying to surv^Aive. Never knowing what surv^Eival means. ^{A E}

I swear I way more than half b^Eelieve it ^F#mwhen I ^Asay that somewhere love and justice ^C#mshine. ^{E/Eb E5 A}Cynicism falls as^Bleep. ^E5....Tyra^E/Ebnny talks to it^C#mself. ^{E/Eb A}Sappy slogans all come^B true. ^EWe fo^E/Ebrget to feed our ^C#mfear. ^{A B E}
