Everything is relative to the capo.

Intro Parts 1 2
(1)
Old man lying by the road
Black is night
He's got his finger on the trigger
An easy target in sight
(1)
He's got no future, no family tree
He's got a three dollar bottle
And he drinks 'till he can't see
Intro Part 2
(1)
Young girl waiting on a line
Eight a.m., she's got a six month old burden
Willpower's withering thin
(1)
An unwed mother beaten by her trade
Each week her welfare reminds her
Of mistakes she never made
Pre-chorus
(2)
Now what has that to say about tomorrow
(2)
What has that to show for today
(2)
Noah thought to build an ark
Before the heavens washed it all away
Intro Parts 1 and 2
(1)
A baby crying through a dream
An afterthought
Mother is seething for pleasure
After the poison is bought
(1)
His eyes are tainted, staggered is his breath
Oh God, he's addicted
Addicted to death
Pre-chorus
(2)
Now what has that to say about tomorrow
(2)
What has that to show for today
(2)
Noah thought to build an ark
Before the heavens washed it all away
