Strum

 x 3
I  saw you turn the other  cheek and smile.
I  saw my father walk  that lonely mile.
I  saw a girl with a  guitar at the crack  of dawn.
I  saw a beggar sitting in the cold  with just an old  Nirvana T-Shirt  on.
 x 2
I  saw the flames of Jupiter reach  across the sky.
I  saw a preacher selling expensive  lies, and didnt bother  to ask him why.
I  saw four young men from nowhere  change the world  with yeah, yeah, yeah.
I  saw blood against the window  of a florist  shop somewhere.
 x 2
There's  so many things I saw today, I don't know what do or say,
I'm  scared of thinking  what it means
I  just thought you'd like to see them too, so I bought these pictures home to you
Stuffed  in the pockets  of my  jeans
Stuffed  in the pockets  of my  jeans
Stuffed  in the pockets  of my  jeans
 x 2
I  heard the winter's first  and only snowflake fall.
I  heard the sound of rustling skirts  like Degas sketches  in a mall
I  heard the whisper of the traffic  in a hubcap  down on second  beach.
I  heard the crying of discarded  kids, somewhere  desperately out  of reach.
I  heard the bells of freedom chime  for black  South Africa
I  heard Americans talk like Americans,  pretending to be Americans,
 everywhere, even in America
Theres  so many things I heard today, I don't know what to do or say.
I'm  scared of  thinking what it  means
I  just thought you'd like to hear them too, so I bought their soundtrack back
 to you
Stuffed  in the pockets  of my  jeans
Stuffed  in the pockets  of my  jeans
Stuffed  in the pockets  of my  jeans
 x 4
I  know the end is coming,  and it doesnt  matter when.
I  know the end is a beginning,  it happens  ever now and then.
Worlds  collide and tears explode.
Our  songs are S.O.S.  percussion messages  in Morse  code
I  know the kids can hear  me, there's nothing  to explain
I  hear murmurs of disapproval,  but they won't make  me change my name  again
 x 2
So  whatever this is all about, I'll say it straight; I'll sing it out.
We  don't need no one to tell  us what it means
I'm  sure you got some pictures too, with no one else to show them to
Stuffed  in the pockets  of your jeans
Stuffed  in the pockets  of your jeans
Stuffed  in the pockets  of our jeans
 x 2
