Verse 3

Em Am Em So you sit in the corner, with a beer and a smoke B7 Em You smile, you nod, and you laugh at their jokes Am Em But their words are just syllables, strung end to end Am Em B7 Em So you sit in thе corner and keep playing pretend

Verse 4

Em Am Em I'm telling you, I've lived in squats and I've lived in cars B7 Em I've stayed in the guest house and I've slept in the yard Am Em But every place is the same bunk deal Am Em B7 Every town that I've ever been to Em They've all got the same bunk feel

Verse 5

Em Am Em So get a pick me up bottle. cos we both need a lift B7 Em And we can stand on the corner and look out at the shit Am Em Oh, the shit that they feed us and they want us to see Am Em B7 Em The shit that they want us to think that we need

Bridge

Em Am Em They pervade and pervert us subliminally B7 Em Their power is subtle, their power complete Am Em And everything's coming apart at the seams Am Em B7 Em No sound's coming out but I'm trying to scream Am Em We live in a coma, we live in a dream B7 Em It's the same damn channel on every tv Am Em And every day is the same exact scene Am B7 Em And I'm sick of staring out from behind this fucking screen!

Verse 6

Em Am Em They live and we are asleep! B7 Em They live and we are asleep! Am Em They live and we are asleep! Am Em B7 Em They live and we are asleep! Em Am Em They live and we are asleep! B7 Em They live and we are asleep! Am Em They live and we are asleep! Am Em B7 Em They live and we are asleep!
