Existentially Yours  ( Clements )   from: Odd Man Out
-------------------


1.)
Lately I've been doing some thinking, about this messed-up world we're living in
  F7
torn apart by fear and superstition, turning tolerance and truth into a sin

the bigots are assembling at the theatres, they crying sacrilege at plays they've never seen

they're making lists of schoolsbooks for the bonfires, they're even trying to cancel Halloween.

Well they can keep their promise of salvation, I ain't gonna fight their holy wars

I'm gonna write my resignation, gonna sign it Existentially Yours.

Well you can talk about your Loch Ness monster, you can talk about your Turin shroud
     	    F7
but things some people ask you to believe in, well it makes me want to laugh out loud

and it makes me want to wake up screaming, the things some people do to make a buck

and if you're gonna tell me I'm blaspheming, well mister, I don't give a damn

I'm gonna take a long vacation from this country of whores - yes I am

I'm gonna write my resignation, gonna sign it Existentially Yours.

Well the businessman he walks into the classroom, with his bible and his chequebook in his hand
	F7
saying "this is how it was in the beginning and this is how it stays, you understand"

he's closed the shutters on the age of reason, he's drawing down the blinds, or that's the plan

he's turning back the clock, but let me ask you, would you buy a used messiah from this man?

I'd rather join the monkeys in the reservation, armageddon outta here on all fours

I'm gonna write my resignation, gonna sign it Existentially Yours - that's right.

4.)
Well, some people put their faith in fortune-tellers and some consult the crystals or the cards
           F7
some keep corned beef and handguns in their cellars and hang dreamcatcher windchimes in their yards

and you can buy into the latest secret histories on any airport newsstand bargain bin

but to me by far the greatest of the mysteries, is how we all keep getting taken in

I'm gonna leave this land of cheap mystification, set my sail for foreign shores
	Bb7					F7
I'm gonna write my resignation, gonna sign it Existentially Yours.
