	  		C          B                 A           G        F          G
Everywhere you look there was confusion, violence, drama & drugs
 C           B           A       G                 F
So many righteous revolutionaries spouting Utopian love
E                              A
Everyone shrouded in a purple haze
   E                                          A
Then one day they woke up from their dream state
     B                    C
They found themselves no more at peace than before
              D
older, meek, and conformed
C G A    E        F                    D
Empty causes, a bluster for the soul, a fix for the mind
C G A    E     F            G     C    G
Empty causes, cling to everything you find
C             B                 A                G            F          G
The shots rang out like popcorn and the chief was hid and rushed out of sight
 C                   B               A         G                F
The mohawk-chain, leather brigade rejoiced maliciously on that night
E                                  A
Someone cried out "fuck the government"
E                                  A
His mates couldn't define what he meant
   B                          C                       D
So no one gave him the time of day and the scene died away
C G A   E        F                   D
Empty causes, a war for the body and an army in the mind
C G A   E        F            G          C
Empty causes, losing steam as time goes by
F                G           C      B    A
Could it be that everybody selfishly desires
A         F          C
Their own personal retinue
   F              G                  C       B     A
And the causes are just manifestations of too much time
 F                    D
And far too little to do
