Will Varley - The Sound of the Markets Crashing
A D A D A
[Verse 1]
D A
I've been looking for something to hang on to
D A
Looking underneath the sunset of red, orange and blue
D A
As the skies turn black and the winds gently cool
D A
I see nothing in the distance 'cept the burning of fuel
D A
Which rolls out of the wires and then into our brains
D A
Fills our children's minds with regret and with shame
D A
Till they're dreaming of things which they can't understand
D A
And they're standing in nightclubs with knives in their hands
[Chorus 1]
D A
So parliament's hung, I say hang them in chains
D A
Try them for murder and capital gains and
D A
Don't let them down 'til their eyes fill with tears
F#m E A
And the sound of the markets crashing
D A
[Verse 2]
D A
But I don't really care see I don't really mind
D A
Cuz there's nothing but hounds in the election line
D A
As for the edges of these oceans so deep
D A
I say open the gates this land is not ours to keep
D A
Because borders they are nothing except a fence around a hole
D A
Where the thieves keep all of the jewels that they stole
D A
And the walls of Westminster they are painted with blood
D A
And they shine with the souls of the slaves that we rob
[Chorus 2]
D A
And the businessman's empire now lies cold in the mud
D A
And he can't ask for forgiveness because he doesn't have a god,
D A
Except the money in his pockets and his first true love
F#m E A
And the sound of the markets crashing
D A
[Verse 3]
D A
Well I'm heading for the hills, I'm selling my TV
D A
Because I'm tired of being told to buy things I don't need
D A
And I know they will accuse me of apathy
F#m E A
But my feet were made for walking
[Chorus 3]
D A
And I'm not coming back until they see what we are
D A
Just a lost little species who stares at the stars
D A
No I'm not coming back until there's nothing at all,
F#m E A
Except the sound of the markets crashing
F#m E A
Except the sound of the empire crashing
F#m E A
Except the sweet sound of the markets crashing
