[Bb] [F#] [F]
[Intro:]
The po[G]sition being taken is [G]not to be mistaken for at[G]tempted
edu[D]cation or [G]righteous accusation. [G]Only a description, [G]just
an observation of the p[G]itiful cond[G]ition of o[G]ur deg[G]enera[G]tio[G]n.
[Verse:](played with ska upstrokes)
[C]Walls made of opinions, through [F]which we speak and [G]never
listen. Cei[C]ling made of pride, vic[F]ious and self-sat[G]isfied.
[C]Door that's made of rage, [F]hard and slowly a[G]ged, al[C]ways
closing tighter with [F]every war we [G]wage.
[Cborus:]
In this [Bb]room without a window [F#]can't see [F]out. [Bb]Room without a
window, Can[F#]'t see out! Can[F]'t see out!
[Verse:]
[C]Floor is made of lives, we'll g[F]ladly end to [G]stay inside.
[C]Corners made of borders, and [F]borders made of l[G]aw and order.
[C]Painted with the words of poli[F]ticians and rel[G]igion,
[C]plastered with the wreckage of our [F]cultural div[G]ision.
[Cborus]
[Toast break:] (C - F repeated.)
Ha ha ha ha ha Oh, we so stupid! Killing each other.
Don't we learn nothin'?
[Bridge:](2x) (continue C - F)
Got a room inside our minds, yeah we gotta, we can't see out because
we're blind, but I got to choke. Gotta make ourselves drink (all right)
from a room without a window to a different way to think.
[Intro]
Then play the verse chords, with the words from the chorus.
End on a C.
That's it! I hope this sounds right to you. E-mail me with any comments, etc.
