[Intro]
Em C G D x2
 
[Verse 1]
Em        C           G        D
Hear the sound of the pouring rain
Em       C          G      B         Em
Coming down like an armageddon flame
        C          G      D     B
The shame, the ones who died without a name
 
Em        C          G        D    Em
Hear the dogs howling out of key
       C         G        B        Em
To a hymn called faith and misery
     C        G        D       B
And bleed the company lost the war today
 
[Chorus]
Em        C               G               D
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
Em          C              G           B
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives... on holiday
 
[Interlude]
Em C G D x2
 
[Verse 2]
Em        C            G      D
Hear the drum pounding out of time
Em           C    G        B      Em
Another protester has crossed the line
      C             G      D      B
To find, the money's on the other side
 
Em    C   G         D
Can I get another amen?
Em          C     G            B         Em
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men
   C     G         D       B
A gag, a plastic bag on a monument
 
[Chorus]
Em        C               G               D
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
Em          C              G           B
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives... on holiday
 
(Instrumental/Solo)
 
[Bridge]
Em C G D x2
 
The representative from California has the floor
Sieg heil to the president gas man, bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel towers who criticize your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass and
Kill all the fags who don't agree
Trials by fires, setting fires
It's not a way that's meant for me
Just cause, just cause because we're outlaws, yeah
 
[Chorus]
Em        C               G               D
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
Em          C              G           B
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
Em        C               G               D
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
Em          C              G           B
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
 
This is our lives on holiday
