G               D
Schopenhauer in Berlin
              C                        Am
Watched the metropolis collapse to the village
       G                      D
It's a sign of the times that we're in
           C                       Am
That we're thinking along the same line he did
      G                       D
So we climb to the top of the bridge
          C                        Am
Where the white flag was raised in defiance, oh!
       G                          D
It's a truce. It's a loss. It's a win
       C   C  C/B C/A G
It's a landslide

Will you pay for my flu shot?
    Em             G                    D
I'm immune, but my heart's not, and I'm cold
        Cmaj7
Will we blink like the charge on a battery
         Em
Blinking out together? Open question

G                   D
Schopenhauer on the Greyhound
         C                     Am
Drinking Drano from an open container
        G                     D
Saw the wisdom in keeping his gaze fixed
       C           Am
At the phone lines
     G                     D
Then Schopenhauer spat his teeth out
       C                           Am
In the hopes that was collectively kinder
     G                    D
On a night of drunken karaoke
          C     Am
And young tired eyes
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
        Cmaj7
When we dream we connect in communion
    Em                     G             D
Our slurred words spoke we backwards the more
         C                             G
We sang "La la la, la la la la la, registration documents!"
           Em               G          D
Closed our eyes, and passed out on the floor
 
      Cmaj7
If we cling to the cold star
N.C.
Will we freeze together? Open question.

G                        D
Schopenhauer in New York City
       C                        Am
Was conflicted in his hatred of Hegel
        G                       D
But his arrogance conquered his pity
       C
And he flew out
       G                             D
On the first flight his sister could find him
       C                         Am
And he slept all the way back to Tegel
          G                            D
Where the landing lights threatened to blind him
           C
Until they blew out
 
[Pre-Chorus]
     Cmaj7
I can't sleep. We got older
        Em              G         D
We were cool. Now we're cold and alone
                C
But if we sing "La la la, la la la la la!" will our wild democracy
Em
Echo out forever? Open question.
 
 
[Outro]
G                D                C    Am
If the universal will blanks your mind
G                 D          C     Am
If the population catalyst declines
                 G                  D             C     Am
Please remember: Schopenahuer in Berlin was not unkind
       G   G/F#     Em    C         G
He had eyes, he had eyes, just like ours
