Waging war 
                    Bm 
On the arms race of sound 

Turn it down 
         G 
Pull the plug 
                   A 
Imminent surrender 
                        D 
Ringing in the new Dark Age 
                    Bm 
Shut down the noise-aholics 
                    G 
Put down the quiet-ophobics 
                       A 
In a daydream of peace 
                        G 
In a calmness too brief 
   A    D        Bm  Bm  G 
My lullaby is killing 
   A    D        Bm  Bm  G 
My lullaby be stilling 
   A        D          Bm  Bm 
It could be such sweet silence 
     G           A 
From static from violence from... 

Bm                          G 
(Volume is the modern currency 
Bm                         G 
Everyone competing for air space) 


Bm 
Everybody's dumb 
Bm                                       G 
Shouting muddled words as though they're deaf 


Bm                            G 
(Big brother isn't watching anymore 
Bm                             G 
He knows we are distracted and absorbed) 


Bm                                           G 
Broadcasting our grief Our imagination's atrophied 
A7 
We can't think 
D                             Bm 
If I could sing them all to sleep 
                       G 
If I could sing myself deaf 
                   A 
Wouldn't it be lovely? 
                          
Doesn't it sound perfect? 


Bm                          G 
(Every generation hates the next 
Bm                              G 
I will save the millions from a slow insufferable death) 


Bm  
I'll put them to sleep 
                               G 
Save them from progressive misery 
A7 
I'm counting 
D                           Bm 
If I could sing myself to sleep 
                       G 
If I could sing myself deaf 
                   A 
Wouldn't it be lovely? 
                         D 
Doesn't it sound perfect?

My lullaby is killing

My lullaby be stilling 
   A 
Memorized 
Bm     D      G       A              Bm 
Involuntary I think I can change the world
