Generation Z

[VERSE 1] (Slowly pick through the chords)
  A              E                  F#m
I think that our kids will probably see
        D        C#m       D
The end of humanity, as we know it
           Bm               E
Cause this world's about to blow it.
          A             E              F#m
Will they see what they saw in ancient Rome,
      D                B
The destruction of the home.
          C#m            D          E
Will they see the end of civility?
             C#m
Cause when morality's been blurred,
      F#m
Procreation seems absurd
    Bm                                E
And human rights and freedom are just words,
          C#m
That have lost all their meaning
     F#m
In a world that is bleeding.
        Bm
Like an animal in slaughter,
E                              A
I hope that my daughters never know
[VERSE 2] (Fast Power Chords)
        E                  F#m
What it feels like to give up
            D                C#m
To know the whole world is corrupt.
           D               Bm
To realize they are really on their own
            E               A
And there's no one left who cares
          E
About the future
         F#m               D
Infected cuts don't need a suture
          Bm               C#m
There's a feeling that the human race,
    D                  E
Has seen the checkered flag
        C#m
And the laps that are given
        F#m
Are the last ones ever driven.
    Bm                                E
And everyone who's still living knows that
       C#m
It's a shame that the earth
          F#m
Will live on but can't give birth
     Bm                         E
To a baby planet where we could start over again.
A          E                   F#m
We've been divided, we've been bled,
       D                 C#m
Like a chicken without a head.
        D            Bm
Running frantically amuck
           E
Taking but not giving a fuck.
[G  O] (Someone else tab that)
A  E  F#m  D
Bm  C#m  D  E
[VERSE 3] (Fast Power Chords)
C#m                   F#m
History is just an alibi
                     Bm
It's believing every lie
                      E
Man has ever dared to write.
             C#m
It's so much easier to see
        F#m
That complex reality
  Bm                          E
A lifetime full of misery and blight.
      A        E                 F#m
So we tell our daughters and our sons
             D             C#m
That they're not the final ones
            D           Bm              E
To see this planet as a decent place to live
   A           E
We use our telescope
             F#m                 D
To give them faith, to give them hope
   Bm                 C#m
Anything to help them cope
           D                    E
With their future cause there's no alternative
