an observation of the pitiful condition of our degeneration. [Verse:](played with ska upstrokes)
C F G
Walls made of opinions, through which we speak and never

listen. Ceiling made of pride, vicious and self-satisfied.
C F G C
Door that’s made of rage, hard and slowly aged, always

closing tighter with every war we wage. [Chorus:] Bb F# F Bb
In this room without a window can’t see out. Room without a

window, Can’t see out! Can’t see out! [Verse:] C F G
Floor is made of lives, we’ll gladly end to stay inside.
C F G
Corners made of borders, and borders made of law and order.
C F G
Painted with the words of politicians and religion,
C F G
plastered with the wreckage of our cultural division. [Chorus] [Toast break:] (C – F repeated.)
Ha ha ha ha ha Oh, we so stupid! Killing each other.
Don’t we learn nothin’?
[Bridge:](2x) (continue C – F)
Got a room inside our minds, yeah we gotta, we can’t see out because
we’re blind, but I got to choke. Gotta make ourselves drink (all right)
from a room without a window to a different way to think. [Intro]
