(Verse 1)
D Bb C D
automatons with business suits swinging black boxes,
D Bb C G
sequestering the blueprints of daily life
D Bb C D
content and free of care, they rejoice in morning ritual
D Bb C G
as they file like drone ant colonies to their office in the sky
(Bridge)
D Bb C G
i don't ask questions, don't promote demonstrations,
Bb C A
don't look for new consensus, don't stray from constitution
E C D A
if i pierce the complexity i won't find salvation
Bb C A
just the bald and overt truth of the evil and deception
(Chorus)
D Bb F G
there is an inner logic,
D Bb F G
and we're taught to keep far from it
D Bb F G
it is simple and elegant,
D Bb F G
but it's cruel and antithetic
A
and there's no effort to reveal it
(Verse 2)
D Bb C D
graduated mentors stroll in marbled brick porticos
D Bb C G
in sagacious dialog they despise their average ways
D Bb C D
displaying pomp and discipline, they mold their institution
D Bb C G
where they practice exclusion on the masses every day
(Bridge)
D Bb C G
i don't ask questions, don't promote demonstrations,
Bb C A
don't look for new consensus, don't stray from constitution
E C D A
if i pierce the complexity i won't find salvation
Bb C A
just the bald and overt truth of the evil and deception
(Chorus)
D Bb F G
there is an inner logic,
D Bb F G
and we're taught to keep far from it
D Bb F G
it is simple and elegant,
D Bb F G
but it's cruel and antithetic
A
and there's no effort to reveal it
(Verse 3)
D Bb C D
decorated warriors drill harmless kids on pavement
D Bb C G
simulating tyranny under red alert
D Bb C D
protecting the opulent and staging moral standard
D Bb C G
they expect redemption of character and self-worth
(Bridge)
D Bb C G
i don't ask questions, don't promote demonstrations,
Bb C A
don't look for new consensus, don't stray from constitution
E C D A
if i pierce the complexity i won't find salvation
Bb C A
just the bald and overt truth of the evil and deception
(Chorus)
D Bb F G
there is an inner logic,
D Bb F G
and we're taught to keep far from it
D Bb F G
it is simple and elegant,
D Bb F G
but it's cruel and antithetic
A
and there's no effort to reveal it
(Bridge & Chorus a 2nd time, while this is chanted behind it)
(no equality, no opportunity,
no tolerance for the progressive alternative)
