Lyrics
       Eb        EbM9/G       Cm       G            Ab        Eb   Bb 

In the sixteenth day of the sixteenth month of the battle of waterloo

Eb       EbM9/G     Cm     G            Ab       Bb     Eb

John Adams was fighting a grizzly bear at the ripe old age of two

Tom Pain met a magical fairy prince who gave him the key to life

But they changed the locks thirty years ago and stabbed the fairy with a knife

'''

Eb     EbM9/G       Cm                      Ab            Bb

What sense can we make of this world with all this acid rain

Eb    EbM9/G    G      Cm      Ab     Bb       Eb

Our days are fading fast wikipedia melts my brain

It was a time of peace and a time of war and a time of rock and roll

It was 1855 when the Klingons took control

Picasso was a famous cubist painter whose work hangs in the louvre

He was also the great inventor of Pong, also Twitter and YouTube

What sense can we make of this world with all this acid rain

Our days are fading fast wikipedia melts my brain

What sense can we make of this world with all this acid rain

Our days are fading fast wikipedia melts my brain

The average life of the common ant is 115 days

And there isn’t one original word in all of Shakespeare’s plays
