Waging war[Dsus4][D]
On the arms race of [Bm]sound
Turn it down
Pull the [G]plug
Imminent surrender[A]
Ringing in the new Dark [D]Age
Shut down the noise-[Bm]aholics
Put down the quiet-o[G]phobics
In a daydream of peace[A]
In a calmness too brief[G]
My [A]lulla[D]by is kil[Bm]ling[Bm][G]
My [A]lulla[D]by be sti[Bm]llin[Bm]g[G]
It [A]could be [D]such sweet [Bm]sile[Bm]nce
From [G]static from [A]violence from...
[Bm](Volume is the modern curren[G]cy
[Bm]Everyone competing for air [G]space)
[Bm]Everybody's dumb
[Bm]Shouting muddled words as though they're [G]deaf
[Bm](Big brother isn't watching an[G]ymore
[Bm]He knows we are distracted and [G]absorbed)
[Bm]Broadcasting our grief Our imagination's atro[G]phied
[A7]We can't think
[D]If I could sing them all to sl[Bm]eep
If I could sing myself [G]deaf
Wouldn't it be love[A]ly?
Doesn't it sound perfect?
[Bm](Every generation hates the [G]next
[Bm]I will save the millions from a [G]slow insufferable death)
[Bm]I'll put them to sleep
Save them from progressive mise[G]ry
[A7]I'm counting
[D]If I could sing myself to sl[Bm]eep
If I could sing myself [G]deaf
Wouldn't it be love[A]ly?
Doesn't it sound perfect?[D]
