              C     Em             Am     F
When you're smoking tinfoil in the morning
C     E          F    Em
It's gonna be a cold day
             C      Em           Am      F
When you're keeping everything inside you
C E          F    Em
It can only hurt you

Chorus:
F          C    Em Am
Unrelated sounds
     F               C  Em Am
The sun will shine again
     F               C  Em Am F
You hold it in your hands

This land is a young land, let it stay that way
Its pollution only turns you into
Something you don't want to see in the water
A reflection of them that you receive

Chorus

The cling and a clang is the metal in
my head when I walk
I hear a sort of, this tinging noise
"Cling clang" The cling clang
So many things happen while walking
The metal in my head clangs and clings as I walk
Freaks my balance out
So the natural thought is just clogged up,
totally clogged up
So we need to unplug these dams and make the natural flow
It sort of freaks me out
We need to unplug the dams
You cannot stop the natural flow of thought
with a cling and a clang

Chorus:
You don't own the sun
And the sun won't shine again
So maybe you're all in love
With aluminium
