Cm C#m Dm 
 
verse 1 
Am                   G 
  So proud a history, replete with sanctity, 
Dm                            Em 
  Orbs in their harmony, they sing their code to me. 
Am                                G 
Have you ever heard yourself, the orbit that you're in? 
    Dm                                    Em 
The terse, oppressive blanket that's instilled here by our spin. 
 
 
     Am         G              Am              G 
It's misery and famine, it's a force we cannot see, 
Dm                       Em 
Misery and famine, it compels us naturally. 
Am         G               Am                G 
Misery and famine, great ellipse, we bend to thee, 
Dm                        Em 
Misery and famine, just accept your vagrancy. 
 
verse 2 
Am                        G 
  Others who bear no name, who feel that life's a game, 
Dm                              Em 
  My verse they will defame, we suffer all the same. 
     Am                       G 
They pay no regard to their position or their speed, 
    Dm                               Em 
The firmament still covers them with its malevolent seed. 
     Am         G              Am              G 
It's misery and famine, it's a force we cannot see, 
 
 
Dm                       Em 
Misery and famine, it compels us naturally. 
Am         G               Am                G 
Misery and famine, great ellipse, we bend to thee, 
Dm                        Em 
Misery and famine, just accept your vagrancy. 
Bm             E                 Bm          E 
  You look for meaning in things noone comprehends, 
Bm            E         G      D         Bm 
You feel no affinity to the rabble we're in, 
           E            Bm            E 
Sources of inquiry have nothing to portend, 
Bm           E             G       D      Bm     G       D      Bm 
They will perplex us all until the coming end, until the coming end. 
G D Bm 
 
verse 3 
Am                     G 
  A feeling of despair, hungry and full of care, 
Dm                         Em 
  We resent everywhere the fortune that we share. 
      Am                                  G 
"This Earth could be a better place" is a concept I condone, 
Dm                            Em 
Given our pathetic course our destiny is known. 
 
 
     Am         G              Am              G 
It's misery and famine, it's a force we cannot see, 
Dm                       Em 
Misery and famine, it compels us naturally. 
Am         G               Am                G 
Misery and famine, great ellipse, we bend to thee, 
Dm                        Em 
Misery and famine, just accept your vagrancy. 
 
Outro 
Am         G 
Misery and famine, 
Am G Dm 
     Misery and famine, 
Em Am         G 
   Misery and famine, 
Am G Dm                Em Am 
     Misery and famine.
