Welcome to this world that we live in etc.

Intro: Verse Riff X 4

Welcome to this world that we live in

Normal people going for a spin

And we don't realize

That it changes all our lives

Every day somebody's asking questions

Someone wants to know if I know

All the answers, or am I just guessing?

Guess we'll never really know

Sunday section gave us a mention

Grandma's freaking out over the attention

Now my friends abound

They're coming back around

Long distance on the other end

Says I need them for a friend

No matter what I choose

I'm the one they want to use

Intro:

Riff X 4

They divided up all the land

We've got states and cities

Cities have their neighborhoods

And more subdivisions

Riff X 4

There's countries divided by walls

Oceans and latitudes

And longitudes longing to find out

Just what there missing

Riff X 4

There's lots of area codes

And nine digit zip codes

Secret decoder ring codes

Arteries, shopping nodes

Riff X 4

We'll invent some new computers

Link up the global village

Get API, UPI, Reuters

To tell everybody the news, news

Riff X 4

We'll be one happy neighborhood

Spread out across the world

But who's gonna stop that burglar from breaking into my house

When he lives that far away

Riff X 4

We'll be just like old friends

No means to your ends

The police state is too bu - sy

And the neighborhood's getting out of hand

Riff X 4

Big Brother on every wall

Muzak plays in all the halls

Empires see the rise and fall

They divide and conquer

Riff X 4

It's not about my politics

Something happened way to quick

A bunch of me who played it slick

They divide and conquer

Riff X 4

It's all here before your eyes

Safety is a big disguise

That hides among the other lies

They divide and conquer

Riff X 4

Well I expect I won't be heard

Cause my silence is assured

Never a discouraging word

They divide and conquer

Intro (same rhythm used for verse):

Down on my flexible flyer

To the bottom how fast I would go

Just waiting for me under the tree

And out in the snow

A cowboy, a nurse or a fireman

There's so many things that you can be

You can set bigger goals, but set your soul

Yeah, set your soul free

Times, places and situations

Lead to an early grave

When we get there we see

Just what did we save?

If your heart is a flame burning brightly

You'll have light and you'll never be cold

And soon you will know that you just grow

You're not growing old

Times, places and situations

Lead to an early grave

When we get there we see

Just what did we save?

Solo 0ver:

Bm G D / Bm G D / Bm G D C Bm AaddG (repeated twice)

Times, places and situations

You can roll down a hill, but if you can't

Then I pity you

The cat walks to the window

And I hear the key turn in the door
