G                               C           G
There's a breeze that's blowin' in from the land
G                           D             G
Instead of salt air all we breathe in is sand
G                            C              G
Crippled the cloud that once brought us the rain
G                             D          G
Good job now we'll never see our coasts again

C                C                         G
But those of us those of us us of lesser gods
G                    C             D                G
Won't eat till we're hungry won't drink till we're parched
C                C                                   G
But those of us those of us who forget where we're from
G               C             D           G
Create now this Hell where no devil could spawn

C             C
Take me back take me back
C                       G
To the way life used to be

G                           C             G
A whisper's now sayin' what words used to speak
G                             D      G
Starve must the child hungry sex on TV
G                             C          G
For no act of contrition will pardon the soul
G                        D          G
The damage now glistens see how it glows

C             C
Take me back take me back
C                       G
To the way life used to be

G                        C     G
Yesterday is better than it is today
G                        D              G
And today will be better tomorrow they say
G                                  C            G
We don't want what you know but we know what we want
G                                     D               G
That's live and let live we're all different that counts

C                C                         G
But those of us those of us us of lesser gods
G                    C             D                G
Won't eat till we're hungry won't drink till we're parched
C                C                                   G
But those of us those of us who forget where we're from
G               C             D           G
Create now this Hell where no devil could spawn

C                        D             G
Dark is the shallow man proud without pride
D                  G              C                G
Worn out comes the welcome from a truth that never lies
D                G     D           G
Weep now for the tear cold on the face
D                      C
So come down from your heaven Lord
       G                D
Let me show you Hell on earth

C                                    G
Take me back to the way life's never been
