Metal Fingers Electric President
Stand and move a[Bbm]nd walk across the water.
[C#]Peel the cover from the city.
[Ab]Watch its insides twitch and [F#]smoke and rotate endlessly.
[Bbm]Sinking. Moving deep beneath the water.
[C#]Lots of other worlds exist.
[Ab]Soon enough weâ??ll tear them open.
[F#]Soon enough weâ??ll break them too.
[Bbm]Swimming. Watching concrete eat the ocean.
[C#]Metal fingers scr*pe the skies.
[Ab]The windows look like Christm[F#]as lights from out here.
[Bbm]Floating. Counting clouds. Theyâ??re slowly fading.
[C#]Blending in with cardboard skies.
[Ab]Soon weâ??ll manufacture replicas.
[F#]Itâ??s all replaceable.
[C#]
[Bbm]Like theyâ??re holding the world together; like itâ??ll blow any minute.
[Ab]And Iâ??ve got another thought Iâ??ll keep to myself.
[F#]Until the skeletons walk free. Until the make-up all comes off.
[C#]Thereâ??s nothing new to discover, thereâ??s nothing new to invent.
[Bbm]Thereâ??s nothing new to think that hasnâ??t been thought of before.
[Ab]And thereâ??s nothing to believe we havenâ??t already forgotten.
[F#]Thereâ??s nothing left, thereâ??s nothing new, thereâ??s nothingâ??
N.C.
No, no, no, no.
[C#]And Iâ??ve got another dream Iâ??ll keep to myself.
[Bbm]Until the tyrants are dead and the patriots are swallowed whole.
[Ab]And Iâ??ve got a bottle I can aim at the center,
Full of letters, as a kid, Iâ??d always meant to send.
[F#]Weâ??d speak our minds and change the world.
Weâ??d fix the past and pave the way.
[C#]But now weâ??re fresh out of heroes; now weâ??ve run dry on hope.
[Bbm]There are no saviors in technology: just quick fixes.
And holes, wi[Ab]thin holes, within holes, within you.
And a place[F#] to hang my head, and convince myself there is no difference.
[C#] [Bbm] [Ab] [F#]
