Tuning: Half-step down
[Intro 1]
(x8)(or until the riff hits)
[Intro w/ Riff]
(x4)
[Verse 1]
(pause)
To the sound of a heartbeat pounding away
(pause)
To the rhythm of the awful rusted machines
We toss and turn but don t sleep
Each breath we take makes us thieves
Like causes without rebels
(pause)
Just talk but promise nothing else
[Chorus]
We crawl on our knees for you
Under a sky no longer blue
We sweat all day long for you
But we sow seeds to see us through
Cause sometimes dreams just don t come true
We wait to reap what we are due
[Instrumental]
(x40
[Verse 2]
(pause)
To the rhythm of a time bomb ticking away
(pause)
And the blare of the sirens combing the streets
Chased down like dogs we run from
Your grasp until the sun comes up
[Chorus]
We crawl on our knees for you
Under a sky no longer blue
We sweat all day long for you
But we sow seeds to see us through
Cause sometimes dreams just don t come true
Look now at what they ve done to you
[Bridge]
White needle s buried in the red
The engine roars and then it gives
But never dies
Cause we don t live
We just survive
On the scraps that you throw away
[Bass Riff]
(Still playable)
(x3)
[Chorus]
I won t crawl on my knees for you
I won t believe the lies that hide the truth
I won t sweat one more drop for you
Cause we are the rust upon your gears
We are the insect in your ears
We crawl
We crawl
(pause)
We crawl... all over you
[Chorus]
(End version)
We sow the seeds to see us through
Our days are precious and so few
We all reap what we are due
Under this sky no longer blue
We bring the dawn long overdue
We crawl
We crawl
(pause)
We crawl... all over you
