Let’s put this countdown clock away. Unfinished parts of the deathray on the lawn

Let them rust. Turn to dust, what the heart can’t imagine will trust

They, they say we can’t make this stuff up, but what else could we make? 
F#m   B                            E            D 
They  say we can’t make this stuff up, but what else could we make?

What do these marching orders say? Spelled out in a forgotten language, they leave 
               A  B         E               A       B           E   E  A, B (2x)

They  say we can’t make this stuff up, but what else could we make?

C’mon really lose your voice. C’mon really lose it!

C’mon really lose your voice. C’mon really lose it!

All your marching orders stay? Are we as past as many ways oh hell no, we won’t go, 
         E            A  B         E            A  B        E           A   B 
Say hell no, we won’t go, Say hell no, we won’t go, say hell no, we wont go.
