[Intro:] D4 D G D4 D G

                  Bm         A               G
We sit secure in time-honored traditions made
                      Bm             A            G
And never wondering where or when the sickle may come
                       Bm              A        G 
If we don't seek out knowledge to be greater men
                                     Bm             A
When the rain starts falling gonna drown before we get our feet wet

We build our ivory towers to protect us from the floods
A fleet of vessels made of wood so they won't rust
Can we see the bottom of a bottle when we start to drink?
There's fire on the mountain...fire and it's coming our way

 G               D       G
Can we pick the pieces up
                     D
We're mending Babylon
Tryin' to right the wrong
 G               D
Can we pick the pieces up
             A/C#  Bm    G          D
Live, learn, lie, love, die, dust, gone
