[Verse 1]
B
Light the fuse and run now brother
                                A E A E
Cuz' you ain't got a lot of time
B
Don't you act surprised
                                  D A D A
When it all goes to hell on your dime
B
Maybe you can stand tall enough
                            A E A E
To look the devil eye to eye
B
But you better make your getaway quick

So you don't have to answer why


[Chorus]
    D           A
The bells will ring
          D      A   E   B
And the flames will fly
      D      A
Two thousand years of fury in the
D    A    E B
big black sky
    D           A
The wind will roll
        D     A    E    B
And the rain will fall
        D       A
Are we waiting for the thunder?
D  A E  B
    Will the lightnin' get us all?

[Verse 2]
B
All the money and the war and religion
                              A E A E
And the which one do you serve?
B
Maybe them with the power and the glory
                         D A D A
Got more than they deserve
B
Why do we stand by and do nothin'
                           A E A E
While they piss it all away?
B
And we hope we wake up in the mornin'

To the light of a brand new day

[Chorus]
    D           A
The bells will ring
          D      A   E   B
And the flames will fly
      D      A
Two thousand years of fury in the
D    A    E B
big black sky
    D           A
The wind will roll
        D     A    E    B
And the rain will fall
        D       A
Are we waiting for the thunder?
D  A E  B
    Will the lightnin' get us all?
