  I had a friend who kept a candle in his pocket

D            C                 G                D

  He used to touch it when the wind was blowing high

D            C                  G                 D

  I guess it made him feel like he could buck the system

D             C                G                D

  And when it flickered out we laid him down to die

    D    F      G

  I turn on the light,

            C                G                 F

  Turn on a million blinding brilliant white incendiary lights

    D      F      G

  A beacon in the night,

C             G            F

  I'll burn relentlessly until my juice runs dry

D              C               G                  D

  And I'll construct a rack of tempered beams and trusses

D      C                   G            D

  And equip it with just a million tiny suns

D         C             G             D

  I'll install upon the roof of my compartment

D               C         G               D

  And place tinfoil on my floor and on my walls

            D    F      G

  Then I'll turn on the light,

            C                G                 F

  Turn on a million blinding brilliant white incendiary lights

    D      F      G

  A beacon in the night,

  Bu-urn, for a miniscule duration

      D                                A

let's gather 'round the carcass of the old deflated beast,



        C                                 G

we have seen it through the accolades and rested in its lea,



   D                         A

syntactic is our elegance, incisive our disease,



    C                                  G                D

the swath endogenous of ourselves will be our quandary,





      D                               A

we've nestled in its hollow and we've suckled at its breast,



    C                         G

grandiloquent our attitude, impassioned yet inept,



D                           A

frivolous gavel our design, ludicrous our threat,



  C                            G                      D

excursive expeditions leave us holding less and less,





                A

so what does it mean?



        F                              C

when we tell ourselves it's only for a while we have been deceived 



         A#                         F

and it's only for a moment that the treasures of our day make 



     C                         A#

life easier to complicate, the treasure thrown away,





G   G# F                G      G# F

I'm so tired of all the fucked up minds 



           G    G#     F                 G   G#   F

of all the terrorist religions and their bullshit lines,



           G    G# F                G   G#   F

of all the hand-me-downs from all industrial crimes 



        G  G#   F                         G   G# F

and the weeping mothers and those who are led so blind,



         G   G#  F                G     G# F 

from the plastic protests and the hands of time



        G  G#   F                G G#   F

and the pursuit of mirth and all hating kind

E         D              E              B

lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie



    E                   D       

the full moon is rising over dark water



        C               B

and the fools below are picking up sticks



        E                  D    

and the man in the gallows lies permanently



                C                        B

waiting for the doctors to come back and tend to him,





      G                     D

  the flat earth society is meeting here today,



G                      B            G

  singing happy little lies and the bright ship



            D        A

  humana is sent far away



F#                  G A    B

  with grave determination....



and no destination, 





lie, lie, lie...



yeah, nothing feels better than a spray of

clean water and the whistling wind on a calm summer night,

but you'd better believe that down in their quarters 

the men are holding in for their dear lives,

the flat earth society is somewhere far away,

with their candlesticks and compasses and

the bright ship humana is well on its way

with grave determination.....

and no destination, 



lie, lie, lie, ad infinitum

I paid a visit to the synagog and

 

G C G D E2

I left there feeling blame

 

F2 G2 A

No one could tell me what to do

 

F D E2

They have not the capacity to answer me

 

A G A E A G F G

What the world needs now is some answers to our problems

 

A G A E A G F G

We can't buy more time 'cause our tender isn't valid

 

A G A E A G F G

If your soul needs love you can get consoled by pity

 

F F G A

But it looks as though faith alone won't sustain us no more

 

 

A F

Wacthed the relentists throw their hands

 

G C G D E2

conceding progress will resolve it all

 

A F

Saw the the manufacturers of earth's chloric

F2 G2 A

No one could tell me what to do

 

F D E2

They have not the ability to answer me

 

A G A E A G F G

What the world needs now is some accountability

 

A G A E A G F G

We can't buy more time 'cause our time won't accept our money

 

A G A E A G F G

If your soul needs love you can always have my pity

 

F F G A

But it looks as though faith alone won't sustain us no more

 

 

 

P.S. Sorry about some of the spelling, I took the words right out of their

Against the grain

That's where I'll stay

Swimming up stream

I maintain against the grain

 

You're labeled as a lunatic, sequestered and content

You're ignored and defeated by the government

There's an oriented public whose magnetic force does pull

But away from the potential of the individual

 

(chorus)

 

The flow is getting stronger with smaller increments of time

And eddies of new ideas are increasingly hard to find

You need all that the other has, it's your right to sieze the day

But in all your acquisitions you will soon be swept away

 

(chorus)

 

There's a common consensus an uncomfortable cheer

A reverberated chorus that anyone can hear

It sings leave your cares behind you, just grab tenaciously

This lulling sense of purpose will destroy us rapidly

*** Lyrics ***

Verse 1

        It's an S.O.S. - sent out telepatheticly,

        Signs of our distress don't allow complacency,

        We need restoration now of our integrity,

        And a drastic bold reminder of our morality.



Pre-Chorus

        The rectifying troop is here,

        The ones we've needed all these years,

        To stop the heinous wrongdoings,

        And verify our moral benevolence as a people.



Chorus

        Operation, 

        Operation Rescue,

        They're here to right our fall, 

        They've heard our troubled call,

        Operation, 

        Operation Rescue,

        You wonder where they come from,

        But I just wonder why they're here at all.



        Ya Ya, Ya Ya, Ya. 

        Ya Ya, Ya Ya, Ya.

        Ya Ya, Ya Ya, Ya.

        Ya Ya, Ya Ya.



Verse 2

        Life ever after is what they're in business for,

        See them brandish the key to our kingdom's door,

        It's pervasive, A part of, A part of you and me,

        But not overwhelming as they wish it to be.



Pre-Chorus

        If no one believed in fairy tales,

        There's nothing they could do but fail,

        Yet everywhere we look someone is trying

        To reassure our moral benevolence as a people.



Chorus

        Operation, 

        Operation Rescue,

        They're here to right our fall, 

        They've heard someones troubled call,

        Operation, 

        Operation Rescue,

        You wonder where they come from,

        But I just wonder what compels them all.



Outro

        Operation, 

        Operation Rescue,

        Operation, 

        Operation Rescue...



        You may wonder where they come from,

        But I just wonder what compels them all.



        Ya Ya, Ya Ya, Ya. 

        Ya Ya, Ya Ya, Ya.

        Ya Ya, Ya Ya, Ya.

*** Lyrics ***
Verse 1
 I Can't Believe It,  
 The Way You Look Sometimes, 
 Like A Trampled Flag On A City Street,
 Oh Yeah.  

Verse 2
 And I Don't Want It,  
 The Things You're Offering Me, 
 Symbolized Bar Code, Quick I.D.,
 Oh Yeah. 

Chorus 1
 I'm A 21st Century Digital Boy,
 I Don't Know How To Live, But I've Got A Lot Of Toys,
 My Daddy's A Lazy Middle Class Intellectual,
 My Mommy's On Valium, So Ineffectual,
 Whoa Oh, Ain't Life A Mystery?

Verse 3
 I Can't Explain It,
 The Things They're Saying To Me,
 It's Going Yayayayayayaya,
 Oh Yeah...

Chorus 2    
 I'm A 21st Century Digital Boy,
 I Don't Know How To Read, But I've Got A Lot Of Toys,
 My Daddy's A Lazy Middle Class Intellectual,
 My Mommy's On Valium, So Ineffectual,
 Whoa Oh, Ain't Life A Mystery?

Bridge  
 Tried To Tell You About No Control,
 But Now, I Really Don't Know,
 And Then You Told Me, How Bad You Had To Suffer,
 Is That Really All You Have To Offer?

(Solo)

Chorus 3    
 I'm A 21st Century Digital Boy,
 I Don't Know How To Live, But I've Got A Lot of Toys,
 My Daddy's A Lazy Middle Class Intellectual,
 My Mommy's On Valium, So Ineffectual.

Outro   
 Cat's Foot, Iron Claw, 
 (21st Century Digital Boy)                

 General Surgeon Screams For More,
 (21st Century Digital Boy)                

 Innocence Raped With Napalm Fire,
 (21st Century Digital Boy)                

 Everything I Want, I Really Need........
 (21st Century Digital Boy)                

 Ain't Life A Mystery???

Walk Away

Eriff



Em           C            D                Eriff

shut off the t.v and peel off those sunday gloves,



    Am             Em                     D        Eriff

and I`ll stain the clean that you've been counting, 



Em      C               D         Griff

old mr. Fletcher passed by here today,



      Am          Em           D             Eriff

after 40 years of toil he just up and walked away,



   Em         C          D             Eriff 

fantastic the panic that showed in his eyes,



   Am              Em         D       Eriff 

he shrugged when I asked him about it,



   Em                  C                D              Griff

he said "young man pay heed, you listen well to what I say, 



    Am            Em         D           Em

now there comes a time for a man to walk away", 



      D                Em

walk away, I'll be a parade,



    C         B5     

and I'll be determined that no one shall 



   Em          C

dissuade on my way,



     D              G       C            B5

I'll sure take some time to burn all the bridges



                   Eriff

that I'm leaving behind,







   Em         C               D                  Eriff

he passed by again and he was shivering from the cold,



        Am         Em                D       Eriff

I'm not sure but I think that he was trying,



   Em                C           D                Griff

he told me about the weather and something old to pay,



       Am           Em               D            Em

"but tomorrow, " he said, "I'm gonna surely walk away"



      D                Em

walk away, I'll be a parade,



    C         B5     

and I'll be determined that no one shall 



   E           C

dissuade on my way,



     D             G       C            B5

I'll take my sweet time and burn all the bridges



                   Eriff

that I'm leaving behind,
