Just think of the lives you could swap with your own
D C
While you're selling your coats you're sewing your own
F# C
You know it's not the easy way
F#
Sometimes we've got to pay to play
Bm F#
With finger paints and macramé
Bm A
It's time we asked our See N' Say
A7 D
Could you bring a different nomenclature
A A7
Now the colors have bled to gray
D
To ones that don't exist in nature
A
Our nomenclature is washin' away
D
Washin' away
A
Our nomenclature is washin' away
D
Washin' away
A
But did it carry you away
E7
Carry you all away
A
Bum bum bum bum bum bum
Dm
Bum bum bum bum
Gm A D
Ooo... ooh
A A7

Carry you all away

It's washing us all away
