Blacktop pavement cover me
Am Dm F G
Like a chemical reaction or a steam roller Spreading randomly

There's a distant buzz and a low frequency

It tickles my ear, it rumbles under my feet

Everything must cease

Institution on the Hill

Like a beacon in the mind of an ancestor To ignite a people's will

There's a shadowed stain on the west facade

It has spread like decay to enshroud the fraud

And the descendants find oh so odd (oh so odd)

What was once, is reduced to remembrance
Dm C G F C G
And the generations pass without recompense (aaah aaah aaah)
Am G F
What pretension! Everlasting peace
F G (Am)
Everything must (cease)
That's it!
