Now is the time (Em G)
To step out of line (D Em)
Spend your last dime
Commit minor crimes
Now is the time (Em G)
Let go of mankind (D C)
The world is fine (Am)
“Fear comes out of thought” - So he says (F Em A A)
“The limits of matter are the ones the dread” (--)
“Senseless desire, the cause of it all” (Bm F A A)
“You are what you are, just because” (Bm F A A-G)
Still you sit and complain, watch the news
“She just called him a crook”, what a muse!
Your guts are all swollen from stuffing inside
The freedom you lack, the feeling you hide
F# G Em Em
There’s nothing to do or to say
Politicians are agents, of interest and pay
The media’s all jaded, the network controlled
Your tweets pathetic if nothing gets sold
