The Sleep Of Reason chords

[INTRO]

[D] [B] [A] x2

[VERSE 1]

[D]One by one [D]The stars grow dim
And fall out of the [F#]sky
[E]And we gather round our shiny screens

To say the last goodbye
D. D
In communion with a bunch of folks
[D]That we don't know or [F#]see
[E]In the hope that we might feel something

In place of empathy
[D]And so it goes
[E]Sure gonna miss t[A]hem
[G]Is it [G/F#]wrong to cling to the [E]past when life [F#]comes at you so[B] fast?
[G]And t[G/F#]he sleep of [E]reason produces [A]monsters
[G]And [G/F#]the sleep of[E] reason produces [D]monsters [B] [A]

[VERSE 2]

[D]Lies ride in style [D]on a big red bus
While you walk into [F#]town
[E]And surrogates keep their cap locks on
[D]To shout each other down
[D]And the levies that [D]protected truth
Can no longer hold the [F#]flood
[E]And expertise and experience

Get trampled in the mud
[D]And so it goes
[E]Guess they had it [A]coming
[G]Now th[G/F#]ere's nothing that you[E] can do
[F#]To convince the[B]m that it's true
[G]And t[G/F#]he sleep of [E]reason produces [A]monsters
[G]And [G/F#]the sleep of[E] reason produces [D]monsters [B] [A]

[VERSE 3]
[D]It's over now, you'[D]ve lost, my friend
"Move on, just let [F#]it go"
[E]Says a man who flies a confederate flag

On his profile just for show
[D]And when he hears someone[D] point out that things
Are much too male [F#]and white
[E]Well, he eases of the safety catch

On his second amendment rights
[D]And so it goes
[E]And the kids are[A] alt-right
[G]Giving[G/F#] license to all this h[E]ate
[F#]Is gonna make o[B]ur country great
[G]And t[G/F#]he sleep of [E]reason produces [A]monsters
[G]And [G/F#]the sleep of[E] reason produces [D]monsters [B] [A]

[VERSE 4]

[D]In this constant [D]state of what the heck
Just happened, y[F#]ou feel woke
[E]But through it all you treat it like

It's just some kind of joke
[D]And in the end, t[D]he greatest threat faced by [F#]democracy
[E]Isn't fascism or fanaticism

But our own complacency
[D]And so it goes
E. A
Best pay attention
[G]For th[G/F#]ere's simply no guaran[E]tee
[F#]Of a happy endi[B]ng to history
[G]And t[G/F#]he sleep of [E]reason produces [A]monsters
[G]And [G/F#]the sleep of[E] reason produces [D]monsters [B] [A]
