[Verse 1]
A E A E
Well, I'm witnessing something I'd never have dreamed of even a couple of years ago
A E A E
Families screaming and running about, ringing their hands in the sky, singing
[Bridge]
[Refrão]
A E
No, no, no, not our generation
A E
No, no, no, not our generation
A E
No, no, no, not our generation
A E
Tell us it's a lie!
[Chorus 2x]
E A E
We're running out, running out
B E
You know we're running out
[Verse 2]
A E A E
We are running out of hope, and we are running out of love
A E A E
And we're running out of everything that I've been dreaming of
A E A E
And we are running out of oil, we are low on light and air
A E A B
And we're running out and digging holes and finding nothing there
[Chorus]
E A E
It just ain't fair, running out
B E
You know we're running out
E A E
There's nothing there, running out
B E
You know we're running out
[Verse 3]
A E A E
Now, the car won't go, and the pool won't heat
A E
And we're eating beans 'cause there ain't no meat
A E
And the lamps which once lit up our street no longer light the way
A E A E
So we go to bed when the sun sinks low
A E A E
'Cause it's cold at night and the heat won't go
A E A E
And the television studio closed down the other day
[Chorus 2x]
E A E
Hey, hey, hey, hey, running out
B E
You know we're running out
[Outro]
[Refrão] (repetir)
