Intro: G5 H5 G5 H5
[G5] Porcelain and [H5] alabaster,[G5] decaying [H5] ever faster
[G5] unaware of [H5]imminent disaster [G5]open up your [H5]eyes.
As you [A5]ruminate the hopeless sands of [H5]time,
did you [A5]wander out your days lost and re[H5]signed?
[D5] [A5]Or [E5]re-[F#5]cre-[G5]ate the uni[F#5]versals in your [E]mind?
[G5] Everybody [H5] is bastard [G5] my world is[H5] like plaster
[G5] crumbling apart from [H5]pressure of the blaster [G5]Waiting for a [H5]sign
And the [A5]momentary pleasures take their [H5]turn
as a [A5]wistful boy runs out of things to [H5]learn,
[D5] [A5]The [E5]e--[F#5]pi--[G5]sodes of yore are [F#5]never to [E5]return.

[H5]Scare up some hope, you're gonna [D5]need it just to cope
You are the de[A5]cision, numbers don't [H5]lie
[H5]When you bite the dust, was it for [D5]purpose or for trust?
You'll never re[A5]live it, think before you [H5]die.
Yeah,[G5]think! [D5]Think be[A5]fore you [H5]die
solo
[G5] Deficit and [H5] depravation -[G5] in the wake of [H5] desperation
[G5] Rewrite the morals, [H5]rectify the nation. [G5]Now may be your [H5]time
As you [A5]ruminate the hopeless sands of [H5]time,
do you [A5]wonder how your life has been de[H5]fined?
[D5] [A5]You [E5]know [F#5]eter[G5]nity can't eve[F#5]r change your mi[E5]nd.
[D5] [A5]You [E5]know [F#5]eter[G5]nity can't eve[F#5]r change your min[E5]d
