[Verse 1]
Am                   G
  So proud a history, replete with sanctity,
Dm                            Em
  Orbs in their harmony, they sing their code to me.
Am                                G
Have you ever heard yourself, the orbit that you're in?
    Dm                                    Em
The terse, oppressive blanket that's instilled here by our spin.

[Chorus]
     Am         G              Am              G
It's misery and famine, it's a force we cannot see,
Dm                       Em
Misery and famine, it compels us naturally.
Am         G               Am                G
Misery and famine, great ellipse, we bend to thee,
Dm                        Em
Misery and famine, just accept your vagrancy.

[Verse 2]
Am                        G
  Others who bear no name, who feel that life's a game,
Dm                              Em
  My verse they will defame, we suffer all the same.
     Am                       G
They pay no regard to their position or their speed,
    Dm                               Em
The firmament still covers them with its malevolent seed.
     Am         G              Am              G
It's misery and famine, it's a force we cannot see,

[Chorus]
Dm                       Em
Misery and famine, it compels us naturally.
Am         G               Am                G
Misery and famine, great ellipse, we bend to thee,
Dm                        Em
Misery and famine, just accept your vagrancy.
Bm             E                 Bm          E
  You look for meaning in things noone comprehends,
Bm            E         G      D         Bm
You feel no affinity to the rabble we're in,
           E            Bm            E
Sources of inquiry have nothing to portend,
Bm           E             G       D      Bm     G       D      Bm
They will perplex us all until the coming end, until the coming end.
G D Bm

[Verse 3]
Am                     G
  A feeling of despair, hungry and full of care,
Dm                         Em
  We resent everywhere the fortune that we share.
      Am                                  G
"This Earth could be a better place" is a concept I condone,
Dm                            Em
Given our pathetic course our destiny is known.

[Chorus]
     Am         G              Am              G
It's misery and famine, it's a force we cannot see,
Dm                       Em
Misery and famine, it compels us naturally.
Am         G               Am                G
Misery and famine, great ellipse, we bend to thee,
Dm                        Em
Misery and famine, just accept your vagrancy.

[Outro]
Am         G
Misery and famine,
Am G Dm
     Misery and famine,
Em Am         G
   Misery and famine,
Am G Dm                Em Am
     Misery and famine.
