Verse 1:
Dm              E      Dm         E
Well, we know what makes the flowers grow, but we don't know why
Dm                E  Dm      E
And we all have the knowledge of DNA, but we still die
G           F      E
We perch so thin and fragile here upon the land
G          F        E
And the earth that moves beneath us, we don't understand

Verse 2:
Dm           E      Dm       E
So we rush towards the Judgement Day, when she reclaims
Dm           E       Dm      E
A toast to the Luddite martyrs then, who died in vain
G            F       E
Down at the lab they're working still, finishing off
G          F
How do we tell the people in the white coats
E
Enough is enough?

Chorus:
F  F  Am           Em    G     F
Hey, hey, I listen to you pray as if some help will come

Hey, hey, She will dance on our graves when we are dead and gone
Am   G    F
we are dead and gone

Verse 3:
Dm          E      Dm         E
You and I we made no suicide pact, we didn't want to die
Dm            E      Dm              E
But we watch the wall, little darling, while the chemical trucks go by
G         F      E
This desperate imitation, now, of innocence
G            F          E
Those last few days at Jonestown ain't got nothing on this

Chorus:
F  F  Am           Em    G     F
Hey, hey, I listen to you pray as if some help will come
F  F  Am                Em   G    F
Hey, hey, she will dance on our graves when we are dead and gone

Verse 4:
E        F         Am
Now beneath the fitted carpets, beyond the padded cells
E           F       Am
Within these crimes of passion, the naked truth she dwells
C            F       G        C
And this fury's just a part and this thunder's just a part
C         F     G       G
Desire is just a part, the cracking ice, the splitting rock

Chorus:
F  F  Am           Em    G     F
Hey, hey, I listen to you pray as if some help will come
F  F  Am                Em   G    F
Hey, hey, She will dance on our graves when we are dead and gone
F  F  Am           Em    G     F
Hey, hey, to the suicide day, the blind man blunders on
F  F  Am                Em   G    F
Hey, hey, She will dance on our graves when we are dead and gone
Am   G    F
we are dead and gone
Am   G    F
we are dead and gone
Am   G    F
we are dead and gone

Outro:
Dm         E       Dm           E
As children learn about the world, we built that wall of sand
Dm          E       Dm       E
Along the beach we laboured hard with our bare hands
G               F   E
We worked until the sun went down beneath the waves
G              F       E
And the tide came rolling splashing in, washed the wall away
G          F
How do we tell the people in the white coats
E
Enough is enough ?
G          F
How do we tell the people in the white coats
E     E     E
