Standard (EADGBE)

In the event that this fantastic voyage

 Should turn to erosion and we never get old

 Remember it's true, dignity is valuable

 But our lives are valuable too

We're learning to live with somebody's depression

 And I don't want to live with somebody's depression

 We'll get by, I suppose

It's a very modern world, but nobody's perfect

It's a moving world, but that's no reason

To shoot some of those missiles

Think of us as fatherless scum

It won't be forgotten

 'Cause we'll never say anything nice again, will we?

 And the wrong words make you listen

 In this criminal world

 Remember it's true, loyalty is valuable

 But our lives are valuable too

We're learning to live with somebody's depression

 And I don't want to live with somebody's depression

 We'll get by I suppose

But any sudden movement I've got to write it down

They wipe out an entire race and I've got to write it down

But I'm still getting educated but I've got to write it down

And it won't be forgotten

 'Cause I'll never say anything nice again, how can I?
