They took the beat away, replaced it with machines
D9 D9/G D9/C D9
They took the words away, and threw 'em on a screen
D9 D9/G D9/C D9
They turned the switches on, and handed us the phones
D9 D9/G D9/C D9
They blasted out our ears with endless monotrones

D9 D9/G D9/C D9
They drove the blues away, and banished Rock 'n Roll

They cut away the heart, and sacrified the soul

They closed the disco's down, and shut off MTV

Put the music back into the song
D9 D9/G D9/C D9
And now a silence fills the room where once we sang
D9 D9/G D9/C D9
And all it's quiet where the chimes of freedom rang
D9 D9/G D9/C D9
Somewhere a pirateship is crashing through the waves
D9 D9/G D9/C D9
Sending a signal out, a battle to the grave
