Your name on a grain of rice

Hangin' around my neck
And a head like lead

G F
This is the 21st century
Dm Am
Splash to crash and burn
G F
But nobody's gonna give you anything
Dm Am
For nothing in return
G F
There's a man up in a mirrored building
Dm Am
And he just bought the world
G
Would you want
F
Your own kids
Dm
Growing up
Am
Into what's left of this
G F
She shook her head
Dm Am
She said "Can't you see
G F
The world is you
Dm Am
The world is me.
