[Verse 1]
DG
Well I heard they built an island in the pacific
DG
Size of texas, made of plastic
DGBmAA
Well I heard they built a bomb that could mow us all down that won't make a sound
DG
Well I heard they built a monument to broken things
DG
To money, power, fame, all brings
DGBmAA
Where people gather 'round in their diamond rings, hoping things start spreading
[Chorus]
DA
While another day goes by
BmG
There's famous aimless and I don't know why
DABmG
On our screens, in our dreams, in our magazines, shine so bright like the stars in the sky
DA
So tell me what it is I know
BmG
I must be missing something but I'm not so sure
DA
So tell me all the days, all the ways, all the time it takes
BmG
All the real, all the fakes, where this show
DG
Will go?

[Verse 2]
DG
Well I heard they found a message written on the sun
DG
Said 'love's the only way to end what we begun'
DG
They're keeping it a secret, got a race to run
BmA
More money to come
DG
Well I saw my baby born, saw my father die
DG
I felt a cold wind blow, heard my mother cry
DG
Stood in a hurricane, lay under the sky
BmA
Found a road, kept treading
[Chorus]
DA
While another day goes by
BmG
There's famous aimless and I don't know why
DABmG
On our screens, in our dreams, in our magazines, shine so bright like the stars in the sky
DA
So tell me what it is I know
BmG
I must be missing something but I'm not so sure
DA
So tell me all the days, all the ways, all the time it takes
BmG
All the real, all the fakes, where this show
DG
Will go?

[Bridge]
EmD
If we keep running to escape
EmD
Going in circles, finding ways
EmD
To envy, conspire, covet, hate
Em
Then we'll just be wasting our time
A
Falling in line, heeding no sign
EmD
Stuck neither asleep nor awake
