We Forgot We Were Human

E Dm E A G Gm G Gm What can be done when the world has lost its class? Cm Wrecking ships for love of all things fast Bb Though culture slows this need for speed avails Eb So burn the coal and stow the sails Gm We point to progress with the hope it will distract From crimes against the wisdom of the past Cm Bb Now stacks of smoke and ash are casting trails Eb F Where the air had once prevailed Bb Fm So tell me what do we need with the sun Eb C Now we have an electric one? Bb To melt every shadow away F Eb Ab Turn the night into day Bb Fm Eb So give a shout of "Farwell!" C Now we know we can build it ourselves Bb Fm But Oh! We stared so long Ebm We forgot we were human Gm G Gm Bb Gm We stand on shoulders of the giants of before Eb But unlike them we see beyond the shore Cm Bb The World's gateway we play a game of chase Eb On the bit to win the race Gm What do you need with these vanities and charms Eb Sell your fineries and take up arms Bb And at the front these funds will guarantee Eb F Allied victory! Bb Fm So tell me what do we need with the sun Eb C Now we have an electric one? Bb Fm To melt every shadow away Bb Eb Ab Turn the night into day Bb Fm So give a shout of "Farwell!" Eb C Now we know we can build it ourselves Bb Fm But Oh! We stared so long Ebm Bb We forgot we were human Fm Eb C What do we need with the sun (we forgot we were human) Bb Fm Eb C What do we need with the sun (Oh no, we forgot we were human) Bb Fm Eb C What do we need with the sun (we forgot, we forgot we were human) Bb Fm Eb C What do we need with the sun (Oh no)
