brother's still sleepy, grumbles "it's not light yet,"
G C
"if you want a new life, what's a few minutes wait?"
[Chorus]
F C
darkness on the road and over the land
G C
into the laws and out of the hands
F C
from those with so much, and no show of heart
G G C C
you'd think it'd be crazy, mmm..to ask for a small part
[Bridge]
G G C C
G G C C
[Verse]
C G
spotted an eagle in the middle of a lake
G C
resting on cactus and feasting on snakes
C G
The waters recede as the dump closes in
G C
revealing a whole lake of sleeping children
[Chorus]
F C
poison in the stream that flows to the sea
G C
out on the waves that crash within reach
F C
Those with so much, so little to fear
G G C
you'd think it'd be crazy, to be so far away, yet so near
[Bridge]
Dm F Am C
some say, a new day will shine here Mmmm
Dm F E F F
On these catastrophes and horrors of misfortune Mmmmm
C
all across the wire
[Verse]
C C C/B C/A# G
Alberto y Hermano on the co.yo..te's trail
G C
Mmmm and dodging the border patrol
C G
out in the wastelands wandering for days
G C
the future looks bleak with no sign of change
[Chorus]
F C
darkness in the eye, down in the soul
G C
all across the wire, to those in control
F C
holding so much, with no show of heart
G G C
you think it'd be crazy, Mmmm to watch it all fall apart
F G C
Oh watch it all fall apart
C
