Lullaby

Dsus4 D Waging war Bm On the arms race of sound Turn it down G Pull the plug A Imminent surrender D Ringing in the new Dark Age Bm Shut down the noise-aholics G Put down the quiet-ophobics A In a daydream of peace G In a calmness too brief A D Bm Bm G My lullaby is killing A D Bm Bm G My lullaby be stilling A D Bm Bm It could be such sweet silence G A From static from violence from... Bm G (Volume is the modern currency Bm G Everyone competing for air space) Bm Everybody's dumb Bm G Shouting muddled words as though they're deaf Bm G (Big brother isn't watching anymore Bm G He knows we are distracted and absorbed) Bm G Broadcasting our grief Our imagination's atrophied A7 We can't think D Bm If I could sing them all to sleep G If I could sing myself deaf A Wouldn't it be lovely? Doesn't it sound perfect? Bm G (Every generation hates the next Bm G I will save the millions from a slow insufferable death) Bm I'll put them to sleep G Save them from progressive misery A7 I'm counting D Bm If I could sing myself to sleep G If I could sing myself deaf A Wouldn't it be lovely? D Doesn't it sound perfect? D Bm, G A, G A D Bm Bm G My lullaby is killing A D Bm Bm G My lullaby be stilling A Memorized Bm D G A Bm Involuntary I think I can change the world
