Dm  Am The Cycle of Life 

Dm  Am like no other.

Am  Em you can find it?

Am  Em on this space- ship. 

Em  G Floating through the void 

C G Am of outer space. 

Em  G Each of us must face the

C G Am future we engage in 

Em  nature’s arm’s race. 

Dm  Am Eat or be eaten 

Dm  Am requires skin.  

Dm  Am Supple and tender from 

Am  Em start to the end. 

Dm  Am And then it begins 

Dm  Am once again.

Am  Em death must attend.

Em  G Cellulare sharing.

Em death will arrive. 

Chorus:

Am a cog in the wheel 

C  G  F  spinning forever with zeal. 

Em  The only thing that’s real.

Jam verse

Dm  Am Breathing in atoms a

Dm  Am dinosaur breathed out.

Dm  Am At least one in a trillion

Am  Em because they were wiped out.

Dm  Am A drop in the bucket.

C G Am like never before.

Em  G Whatever the reason it’s

C G Am peril to ignore. We can 

Em see what’s in store.
