Am  A#  C  Dm
C  A#  F

[verse 1]
Am             C                   F
 Blacken the sky and sharpen the axe
Am       C                  F
 Forever cursed to live unrelaxed
Am       A#        C              Dm
 We make no bones, a house is not a home
      C                      A# F
And a home is nowhere we can stay

[verse 2]
Am          C                         F
 Dodged the draft but can't dodge the war
Am       C                  F
 Forever cursed to live insecure
Am           A#        C             Dm
 The curtain drops, a gang of Gen X cops assembles
C                          A# F
Trembling before our human nature

[chorus 1]
Gm                     F
 It wasn't built for me
Gm     Dm        C
 It's your academy
A#           F         C                Dm
 But in my time, you taught me how to see
C                           A#        F
 Each generation makes its own apology

Am  C  F

[verse 3]
Am         C               F
 Welcome back, my oldest friend
Am         C                 F
 Are you cursed to depart again?
Am               A#       C          Dm
 Your ways and means, eternally obscene
           C                         A# F
And always looking for obscenity and hatred

[chorus 2]
Gm                   F
 It wasn't built for me
Gm      Dm        C
 It's your academy
A#           F         C                Dm
 But in my time, you taught me how to see
C                           A#        F
 Each generation makes its own apology

[outro]
Gm                     F
 It wasn't built for me
Gm      Dm        C
 It's your academy
A#           F         C                Dm
 But in my time, you taught me how to see
C                           A#        F
 Each generation makes its own apology
A#                    C            Dm
 It's by design and consequentially
C                           A#        F
 Each generation makes its own apology
