A                                   F 
You just want to live your life the best way you know how 
A                                 F 
But they keep on telling you that you are not allowed 
C                                      F 
They say you are sick, that you should hang your head in shame 
Bb                                 F               G 
They are pointing fingers and want you to take the blame 


A                                 F 
There are days when people are so nasty and convincing 
A                                   F 
They say things beyond belief that sting and leave you wincing 
C                                      F 
And to boot they say their words Come straight down from above 
                 Bb                             F               G 
And they really seem to think that what they're doing counts as love 


C       G   C                        G 
  This pain...it is a glacier moving through you 
C                        F          C                    G     E   Am 
  And carving out deep valleys And creating spectacular landscapes 
                   E                     Am                  D 
And nourishing the ground With precious minerals and other stuff 
Fm                     C                 F                                G 
  So don't you become paralyzed with fear When things seem particularly rough

A                                  F 
Don't you pay them fuckers as they say no never mind 
A                                    F 
They don't give two shits about you, it's the blind leading the blind 
C                            F 
What they want is commonly referred to as theocracy 
    Bb                           F            G 
And what that boils down to is referred as hypocrisy 


A                           F 
Don't listen to anyone, get answers on your own 
A                               F 
Even if it means that sometimes you feel quite alone 
C                              F 
No one on this planet can tell you what to believe 
Bb                            F              G 
People like to talk a lot and they like to deceive 


C       G   C                        G 
  This pain...it is a glacier moving through you 
C                        F          C                    G     E   Am 
  And carving out deep valleys And creating spectacular landscapes 
                   E                     Am                  D 
And nourishing the ground With precious minerals and other stuff 
Fm                     C                 F                                G 
  So don't you become paralyzed with fear When things seem particularly rough 


C       G   C                        G 
  This pain...it is a glacier moving through you

  And carving out deep valleys And creating spectacular landscapes 
                   E                     Am                  D 
And nourishing the ground With precious minerals and other stuff 
Fm                     C                 F                                G 
  So don't you become paralyzed with fear When things seem particularly rough
