Am        C               G     D
What will prove to be our big mistake?
Am            C         g   f♯  e    D
Short-sighted arrogance all for what sake?
Am              C            G          D
Our families to ashes, our ambitions to dust
    Am         C                 D     D    D!
Our progeny in silence thinking "what about us?"

      E5E5 xx E5E5  xx C  D
      But     don't    forget
  The dance   of       neglect

      Em          C            G   D
  The march for empowering prosperity
  The pain from loss and want for mere lucidity

           D          f♯ g     C
    Just maternal residue, and I was there too
        E5
    And maybe so were you

(intro)

When something is won it comes with sacrifice
It's there beneath the joy, the glory, and pride
And rarely it's acknowledged but in positive light
Consciously omitting the losers plight

  But don't forget
  The dance of neglect

  The craving for community that never was met
  The longing for status and the overture of regret

    With no one to deter, pathetically unsure
    Forgetting who they were

E5E5 xx E5E5 xx C  D  x 4  w/ solo

    Just maternal residue, and I was there too
    And maybe so were you
