Introduction: Am G D
D
She stares at the screen
At the little words of green
Am G D
Tries to remember what to do next
D
There's a trace of frustration
That crosses her face
Am G D
Searching for the keys she should press
F
And I would help her
D
If I only know how
C F
But these things are a mystery to me too
D G
And it seems that the corporate
Am G
Eyes they are watching
D G
She fears for her job
Am G
And the moments are passing
D G
I stare at her nametag
Am G
And think to myself
D C
Both you and I, we never asked
D
For any of this
D
So let's take a walk
Up past the chemical works
Am G D
Where the sky turns green at night
D
And we'll talk about
Bout getting away from here
Am G D
Some different kind of life
F D
But even in the freshest mountain air
C F
While the jet fighters practice overhead
D G
And they're drilling these hills
Am G
For uranium deposits
D G
And they'll bury the waste
Am G
For our children to inherit
D G
And though this is all done
Am G D
For our own benefit, I swear
C D
We never asked for any of this
D
Well, this golden age of communication
Am G D
Means everyone talks at the same time
D
And liberty just means
Some freedom to exploit
Am G D
Any weakness that you can find
F D
We'll turn off the TV just for a while
C F
Let us whisper to each other instead
D G Am
And we'll hope that the corporate ears
G
Do not listen
D G Am
Unless we find ourselves committing
G
Some kind of treason
D G
And filed in the tapes
Am G
Without rhyme, without reason
D G
While they tell us that it's all
Am G D
For our own protection, I swear
C D
We never asked for any of this...
D C D
Oh I swear, we never asked, for any of this...
D C D
Oh I swear, we never asked, for any of this...
D C D
Oh I swear...
