Chords
[Intro]
C Em
[Verse 1]
C Em Three Cthousand miles of wilderness
OEmvercome by the flow.
A Clonely restitution of Empavement,
Pomp and show,
I Cseek a thousand answers,
I Emfind but one or two,
I Cmaintain no discomfiture,
My Empath again renewed.
[Chorus]
C Em Against the grain,
C Em That's where I'll stay.
C EmSwimming upstream,
CI maintain against the Emgrain.
[Verse 2]
C Em Here Clabeled as a lunatic,
SeEmquestered and content,
There Cignored and defeated
By the Emgovernment.
There's an Coriented public
Whose magEmnetic force does pull,
But aCway from the potential of the Emindividual.
[Chorus]
C Em Against the grain,
C Em That's where I'll stay.
C EmSwimming upstream,
CI maintain against the Emgrain.
[Verse 3]
C Em The flow is getting stronger
With small increments of time.
And eddies of new ideas are
Increasingly hard to find,
You need all that the other has,
It's your right to seize the day,
But in all your acquisitions
You will soon be swept away.
[Chorus]
Against the grain,
That's where I'll stay.
Swimming upstream,
I maintain against the grain.
[Verse 4]
There's a common consensus
And an uncomfortable cheer,
A reverberating chorus that anyone can hear,
It sings "leave your cares behind you,
Just grab tenaciously",
This lulling sense of purpose
Will destroy us rapidly.
[Chorus]
Against the grain,
That's where I'll stay.
Swimming upstream,
I maintain against the grain.
Against the grain,
Against the grain,
Against the grain.
