I long for the summer,

E F E
Eyes – tearing with sorrow,
Am F E
Burning with anger and passion and lust,
Fadd11+ E F E
The swift wind of thought of wildness and laughter,
Dm Bbmaj E
The soil of defiance, the firm ground of trust.
(We had this coming every day of our lives.)
(We should start fighting for eyes open wide.)

But I am put here in this world gone insane
Am
Where everything’s for sale:

From nature over stars down to DNA.

Then I can gladly say:

Any day, any way,
Am
And the last to join the ranks
F
To hunt down the daily threat
E
Or any other brand of prey.

C A E
A failure – offensive and sore to the eye.

Now we lie.
