Lyrics by Neil Peart
Music by Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson
-1 2 2 2 2 3 3
An ill wind comes arising
3 3 -3 3 3 3 -3 3
across the cities of the plain.
3 3 -3 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -5 -5
there’s no swimming in the heavy water,
3 -3 -4 -4 -5 -4 -3 -3 3 2
no singing in the acid rain.
4 4 -3 4 4 -3
Red Alert (Red Alert)
4 4 -3 3 4 4 -3 3
Red Alert (Red Alert)
3 -1 3 3 3 -3 -3 -3
It’s so hard to stay together,
3 2 3 3 3 -3 2 -1
passing through revolving doors.
3 3 3 -4 -4 -5 -5
We need someone to talk to
-5 -5 -4 -4 -4 -4 4 -3
and someone to sweep the floors.
3 3 -3
Incomplete,
7 7 -7
Incomplete.
-1 -5 -5 -5 -6 6 4
The world weighs on my shoulders,
6 -6 6 -5 4 -5
but what am I to do?
4 -5 -5 -5 -7 -6 6
You sometimes drive me crazy,
6 6 -6 6 -5 6 -5
but I worry about you
-5 -5 -5 -5 -6 6 4
I know it makes no diff’rence
6 -6 6 -5 4 -5
to what you’re going through,
-5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 7 -7 -5
but I see the tip of the iceberg
6 6 -6 6 -5 6 -5
an’ I worry about you.
2 3 3 3 3 -3 -3
Cruising under your radar,
1 3 3 3 -3 3
watching from satellites.
3 3 -4 -4 -4 -5 -5
Take a page from the red book
3 -4 -4 -4 -5 -3
and keep them in your sights.
3 3 -3 3 3 -3
Red Alert (Red Alert)
4 4 -3 3 4 4 -3 3
Red Alert (Red Alert)
3 3 3 3 -4 4
Left and rights of passage,
3 3 3 -3 3
black and whites of youth.
3 3 -4 -4 -5 -5
who can face the knowledge
-5 3 -3 -4 -4 -4 -5 -3
that the truth is not the truth?
3 3 -3 3 3 -3
Obsolete (Obsolete)
-6 -6 7 -7
Obsolete, Yeah!
-1 -5 -5 -5 -6 6 4
The world weighs on my shoulders,
6 -6 6 -5 4 -5
but what am I to do?
4 -5 -5 -5 -7 -6 6
You sometimes drive me crazy,
6 6 -6 6 -5 6 -5
but I worry about you
-5 -5 -5 -5 -6 6 4
I know it makes no diff’rence
6 -6 6 -5 4 -5
to what you’re going through,
-5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -7 7 -5
but I see the tip of the iceberg
6 6 -6 -5 4 4 -6
an’ I worry about you
-7 -7 -7
Absalom
7 -6 7
Absalom
-7 8 -7
