 F        G
Nature has some new plague
     F      G
To run in our streets
 F         G
History some new wrinkle
    F      G
We are doomed to repeat

 Fugitives at the bedroom door

Lovers pause to find an open store

Rain is burning on the forest floor

And the red tide kisses the shore

 Stay out of the sun
     F      G
It only burns my skin
F       G
 Sky full of poison
    F         G
And the atmosphere's too thin

 Bless the sun, the rain no more

River running like an open sore

Black wind falling to the ocean floor
     F
And the red tide washes ashore

Nowhere we can rest

The party is disrupted by
  F     Gm7   F  G
An uninvited guest

F         G
 Deadline approaches
     F     G
For the weary land
  F          G
It used to be something
        F          G
But we let it run down in our hands

Too late for debate, too bad to ignore

Quiet rebellion leads to open war
 G
Bring a sea-change to the factory floor
    F
As the red tide covers the shore
