[VERSE - ANTAGONIST (SECOND SINGER)]
[Dm Bb Dm Bb]
We terraformed our troubles away,
[Dm Bb Dm Bb]
They won’t see the light of my day,
[Gm7 Am7 Dm7]
They’ll never oppose me again.
[Gm7 Am7 Dm7]
They’ll never oppose me again!

Into the sunset with with my misery,

[Verse - PROTAGONIST (FIRST SINGER)] [Dm7 Am7 Gm7] They picked me up around midnight, [Dm7 Am7 Gm7] at dawn I woke in a holding cell, [Dm7 Am7 Gm7] two miles under the sea’s surface, [Dm7 Am7 Gm7] awaiting interstellar transport to hell.
[Dm7 Am7 Gm7] The auto-judge charged me [Dm7 Am7 Gm7] with thinking deemed senseless, [Dm7 Am7 Gm7] cause last year I popped positive, [Dm7 Am7 Gm7] in the global thought census.
[Dm7 Am7 Gm7] I’ve heard lore or where I’m going. [Dm7 Am7 Gm7] They say it truly can be worse, [Dm7 Am7 Gm7] Even more than living here, [Dm7 Am7 Gm7] My existence is a curse.

When we’re scanning your head,
[Dm Bb Dm Bb]
and detect feelings of dread,
[Gm7 Am7 Dm7]
or aggression and anger, In leu of what you have
[Gm7 Am7 Dm7]
[Dm Bb Dm Bb]
There will be no goodbyes.
[Dm Bb Dm Bb]
No calls, no letters, no holiday surprise.
[Gm7 Am7 Dm7]
There will be no sunrise, No trees, no creatures, not even a fly
[Gm7 Am7 Dm7]
[Dm Bb Dm Bb]
After all we gave you,
[Dm Bb Dm Bb]
everything you have,
[Gm7 Am7 Dm7]
your nutrient capsules, and the tarp over your head.
[Gm7 Am7 Dm7]
