F
When the world is too much with me
C Bb
Please leave, just go away
F
Before I lose my mind completely
C Bb
Please leave, just go now
F
In the sidestreet something's moving
C Bb
Look around, look around
F
All around you
C Bb
Walls are tumbling down
F G
Stop staring at the ground
F G Am
I can practically see your face
And another revolutionary falls from grace
Hear the thunder in your brain
Not enough
much rain
F
When the light of life has gone
C Bb
No change for the meter
Then the king of spivs will come
Selling blood by the litre
When nothing's sacred
When the demon's knocking on your door
You'll still be staring down at the floor
