Chords & Lyrics
Special Thanks to Ralf!!!

the future is in eggs
(use these kinds of octave chords:)
D-5-
A---
E-3- that's a G
G
G B
rose be foresight
C
this one pushed his weight
B
to the chamber
A G
dogs barking, the sign flashing
(oh, i don't know the rest, just play w/ those chords..)
come one and all to the execution
shot shot bangle
clothing to films we
tie string to sadist
and pirate's coffee
computer to fat birds
loafing on bringlers
floating on a leg
pissing from a keg
the future is in eggs
the future is in eggs
spying without chin
choking on a grin
spitting kids in cub scout suits
are crushed by marching army boots
their fearless leader on his back
got from a cocaine heart attack
you knew we had to go
it's an ordinary show
the movie of the year
starts realistic beer
billy says something
act what it does
there's been practically nothing
to help you and me
here is my human machine
with incredible mileage
effective and clean
you kids aren't smiling, smiling
smiling, smiling...
oh
and all the coalition, no nutrition...
the great blake street canoe race
(the chord picking:)

(w/ these bass tones:)
D G F# A
jumping around
thinking about our daily lives
here on the ground
falling apart before our eyes
news is not news
learn something old every day
issues repressed
mornings we fake our minds away
D Bm
oh please, don't misuse this information now
G D
oh try not to swallow too much pain, it's only order
(w/ chord picking)
rushing through time
following footsteps out of here
signals ahead
better repay your debts this year
i guess i'll go
on with my sad and troubled ways
hands on my hips
questioning each and every face
D Bm
oh please, don't misuse this information now
G D
oh try not to swallow too much pain, it's only order
(these stuff are played later:)

bad advice never took you to
the way it used to be
and if you can't stay long
well then you better contact me
you're gonna be confronted by the eye of the storm
it's gonna sneak up behind and grab you by the horns
and on the day you were born
there was a push and shove
for the house of love
that was a long time ago
i think it's almost different you know
hey!
