  everybody i talk to is ready to leave   with the light of the 
 C#m       c# d#       E        E/Db        C#m 
  morning  that they've seen the end coming down long enough 
  c# d# E              E/Db              C#m 
  to be_lieve that they heard their last warning 
  c#  d#   e B                 C#m 
  standing a_lone each has his own__ 
  Fm                    F#    f# g# a B  B/Db  B 
  ticket for the in his hand

  it together         with a few of my friends i could 
  c#     d#   E             E/D#           C#m 
  give up the race and maybe find something better 
      c#  d# e    B                       C#m        Fm 
  but all my fine dreams well thought out schemes to gain

  the motherland          have all eventually come down
