The Tragedy Of The Commons

Am
To another commotion
Em
To another disruption
F                   C
To another explosion
  Dm
I raise my glass
Am
To another investment
Em
Into the future of wasteland
F
Well here’s to pulling the waistband

C     Dm      Em
But I know at least I thought, at least I fight
F                  Dm
At least I know at least I tried
Em
I know I thought, I know I’ll fight
G
Tonight I kiss the world goodbye


Am     F        C      G
We are one, and one is all
        F     Dm                 Am
Through self-destruction we fall
           F        C        G         F
Close your eyes, to darkened skies
    Dm
Our ignorant demise

Am
To another obsession
Em
Over another possession
F
Another deal well made
C      Dm             Am
Well I raise my glass
Am
And to the blissful ignoring
Em
That the unclaimable objects
F
Decide our pitfall or prospect

C     Dm      Em
I know at least I thought, at least I fight
F                  Dm
At least I know at least I tried
Em
I know I thought, I know I’ll fight
G
Tonight I kiss the world goodbye

Am     F        C      G
We are one, as one we fall
F         Dm                     Am
Our self-destruction of all
Am         F          C        G       F
Close your eyes, to darkened skies
Dm
Our ignorance in demise

Am
This will lead to personal gain
Am
But I won’t feel any personal pain
Am
All the global implications in vain
Am
Yes the price is high but so are the stakes
Am
This belongs to all of us so
Am
really this belongs to no one at all
Am
When it comes to owning up to our fall
Am
Better brace yourself for the end of it all
