[Verse 1]
Dm                            E           Dm                  E
Well, we know what makes the flowers grow, but we don't know why
Dm                               E    Dm            E
And we all have the knowledge of DNA, but we still die
G                     F           E
We perch so thin and fragile here upon the land
G                   F                E
And the earth that moves beneath us, we don't understand

[Verse 2]
Dm                      E            Dm             E
So we rush towards the Judgement Day, when she reclaims
Dm                     E             Dm            E
A toast to the Luddite martyrs then, who died in vain
G                        F             E
Down at the lab they're working still, finishing off
G                   F
How do we tell the people in the white coats
E
Enough is enough?

[Chorus]
F    F    Am                      Em       G         F
Hey, hey, I listen to you pray as if some help will come
F    F    Am                                Em      G       F
Hey, hey, She will dance on our graves when we are dead and gone
Am      G       F
we are dead and gone

[Verse 3]
Dm                   E            Dm                  E
You and I we made no suicide pact, we didn't want to die
Dm                       E            Dm                            E
But we watch the wall, little darling, while the chemical trucks go by
G                  F           E
This desperate imitation, now, of innocence
G                       F                   E
Those last few days at Jonestown ain't got nothing on this

[Chorus]
F    F    Am                      Em       G         F
Hey, hey, I listen to you pray as if some help will come
F    F    Am                                Em      G       F
Hey, hey, she will dance on our graves when we are dead and gone

[Verse 4]
E               F                  Am
Now beneath the fitted carpets, beyond the padded cells
E                      F             Am
Within these crimes of passion, the naked truth she dwells
C                       F             G                C
And this fury's just a part and this thunder's just a part
C                 F         G             G
Desire is just a part, the cracking ice, the splitting rock

[Chorus]
F    F    Am                      Em       G         F
Hey, hey, I listen to you pray as if some help will come
F    F    Am                                Em      G       F
Hey, hey, She will dance on our graves when we are dead and gone
F    F    Am                      Em       G         F
Hey, hey, to the suicide day, the blind man blunders on
F    F    Am                                Em      G       F
Hey, hey, She will dance on our graves when we are dead and gone
Am      G       F
we are dead and gone
Am      G       F
we are dead and gone
Am      G       F
we are dead and gone

[Outro]
Dm                  E             Dm                      E
As children learn about the world, we built that wall of sand
Dm                   E             Dm             E
Along the beach we laboured hard with our bare hands
G                             F     E
We worked until the sun went down beneath the waves
G                            F             E
And the tide came rolling splashing in, washed the wall away
G                   F
How do we tell the people in the white coats
E
Enough is enough ?
G                   F
How do we tell the people in the white coats
E         E         E
Enough is enough is enough?
