Verse 2: It's the battle of the passwords It's the trumpets on the hill It's that constant paranoia It's the final fire drill And if you won't sing the anthem They'll go find someone else who will They're crackin' down (Open riff) Chorus: G Em Bm D We're livin' in the future, so shine a little light G Em A D/F# It may not make it any better, I'm just hopin' that it might G Em Bm D I'm not talkin' 'bout forever, how 'bout just gettin' through the night? G F#7#5 Em We're livin' in the future, so shine a little light (Open riff x2) Verse 3: (Same as before) I'm always lookin' over shoulders Not knowin' what I’m lookin' for Now that the feelin' someone's watchin’ Isn't just a feelin' anymore Now that both sides of the aisle Are this good at keepin' score We've crossed a line Verse 4: There's a madness to the method There's a market for the fear It's that dance out on the razor's edge The wolf held by the ears It's the man behind the curtain It's the way of our frontiers Since the dawn of time (Open riff) Chorus: G Em Bm D We're livin' in the future, so shine a little light G Em A D/F# It may not make it any better, I'm just hopin' that it might G Em Bm D I'm not talkin' 'bout forever, how 'bout just gettin' through the night?
