I see a white-haired man, he's got a suit on and
he's telling people how they're supposed to live
Nobody's listening, to the politician
no matter what sage advice he has to give

F#                            E   E(HIGH) C# E(H)
He's got a clumsy outdated M.O.
and he's come to a fork in the road
A                                 E
and there's only one direction to go 

G#        E          G#             E
Among the commuters, dwarfed by the skyscrapers
I watch the countless millions fighting for space
See hateful petty acts, disjointed images
And can't believe that I'm one of the same race

F#                               E  E(H) C#  E(H)
We are all just struggling to cope
And we've come to a fork in the road
As we watch our foundation erode
A                               E
There is only one direction to go 

F#                  A            E           C#
It's the way of the dodo, such a noble destiny
F#                        A     E              C#
It's the waltz of desperation, passed along to you and me
C#             G#  E
The way of the dodo

F#                               E  E(H) C#  E(H)
We are all just struggling to cope
And we've come to a fork in the road
As we watch our foundation erode
A                               E
There is only one direction to go 

F#                  A            E           C#
It's the way of the dodo, It`s the gray stuff in your head
F#                        A     E              C#
It`s the pulse of the living and the voices of the dead
C#             G#  E
The way of the dodo
