[Verse 1]
D                                 G                                    D
The lobbists get breakfast and discuss their strategies
D                                 G                                 D
And the newsman seems excited to report the killing spree
G                                 D                                                 A                                 D
Put advertisements on the shirts of dying refugees
G                 D                                   A
And it’s a long, long, long way back
G                D                A                D
It’s a long way back if we can’t find the keys

[Verse 2]
D                                            G                                     D
The collective voice’s mouth has somehow lost its wisdom tooth
D                                           G                                          D
In the private rocket launcher corporate sponsored voting booth
G                                       D                                     A                    D
And just because you repeat a lie, it won’t make it the truth
G                    D                                       A
No it’s a long, long, long way down
G                    D                    A                        D
It’s a long way down if there’s no parachute

[Verse 3]
D                                       G                                       D
And all the paid-off scientists resisting to the bone
D                                                          G                                       D
They just discovered that polar bears don’t give a damn about the new phone
G                                       D                    A                        D
And people living in glass houses shouldn’t fly drones
G                    D                              A
No it’s a long, long, long way home
G                    D                                       A                    D
It’s a long way home when you’re walking alone

[Spoken bridge]
D
So stay together now
D
Here we go!

[Chorus]
G
Just turn
D
Turn around
G D A
And feel yourself unbound
G
Just turn
D
Turn around
G D A D
See beneath your feet is only common ground

[Verse 4]
D G D
And the oil men get dinner on a tray of subsidies
D G D
And bullets in the name of God go flying overseas
G D A D
But if their savior came right now they’d nail him to a tree
G D A
‘Cause it’s a long, long, long way off
G D A D
It’s a long way off if it’s off just three degrees

[Verse 5]
D G D
The wind carries a whisper and it’s starting to get loud
D G D
You can’t fool the youth who see the truth behind the shroud
G D A D
The trees in the forest that haven’t fallen are the ones that make the sound
G D A
And it’s a long, long, long way down
G D A
It’s a long, long, long way down
G D A D
But it’s a long way from over if we all turn around
G D A D
Yeah it’s a long way from over if we all turn around

[Outro]
G D
And you turn yourself around
G A
And you turn yourself around
G D
And you turn yourself around
A D
That’s what it’s all about
That’s what it’s all about!
