D Bm A D
We go down to throw rocks at the river
Bm A
Curses at the parade
G Bm A G
We're just stoning the gears of the clockworks
A D
Try to keep us from acting our age
Bm A D Bm A
We swore we'd carry on like this forever, 'til the free spirits bled.
G Bm A G
But now can you believe who's a mother, and that
A (D)
D F# Bm G D F# Bm G D
Kill of Columbus and turn the world around
F# Bm G A
After all the nomads are settling down
D Bm A D
Used to give most the bread to her landlord
Bm A
leave the crust for the squats.
G Bm A G
Now the death weighed as we paid the bankers.
A D
Seemed to kill all the flies in one swat.
Bm A D Bm A
Hear the wedding band strike up a number. Dear they're playing our song.
G Bm A G
Hold your breath cause we're gonna go under

D F# Bm G D F# Bm G D
Kill of Columbus and turn the world around
F# Bm G A
After all the nomads are settling down x2
G Bm A
No way, not to so-and-so said he'd never change
G BmA
said he'd never grow.
G Bm
We'd stay always on a role
A G BmA
run besides the trains past the mossy stones.
F# Bm
Now there's more hope than ever and its all fallin'
G A D BmA G BmA GA D
down and the rebels are running for mayor in your hometown.
D Bm A D Bm
As the nomads are dropping their anchors. Falling
A G Bm A
into the sea. And I've stopped throwing rocks at the
G A D
river. Now you'll find me a swimmin up stream. There
Bm A D Bm A
is power in unions of ramblers that got nothing to own.
G Bm A G
But there's more in one fist swing in mothers swearin,
A
"my children shall never be sold!"
Chorus a few times
D F# Bm G D F# Bm G D(and
Out of the garden we multiply. Telling
our stories. May all the old ways die.
