D5 D7(no 3rd) G/D

These bastards stole their power from the victims of the

Em7 D5 D7(no 3rd) G/D

Us v. Them years. Wrecking all things virtuous and true.

D5 D7(no 3rd) G/D Em7

The undermining social democratic downhill slide into abysmal

D5 D7(no 3rd) G/D Em7

lost lamb off the precipice into the trickle down runoff pool.

They hypnotized the summer, nineteen seventy-nine.

Marched into the capital brooding duplicitous, wicked and able, media-ready,

heartless, and labeled. Super U.S. citizen, super achiever,

mega ultra power dosing. Relax.

Defense, defense, defense, defense. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ignoreland.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ignoreland.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The information nation took their clues from all the sound - bite gluttons.

D5 D7(no 3rd) G/D Em7

Nineteen eighty, eighty-four, eighty-eight, ninety-two too, too.

D5 D7(no 3rd) G/D Em7

How to be what you can be, jump jam junking your energies.

D5 D7(no 3rd) G/D Em7

How to walk in dignity with throw-up on your shoes.

They amplified the autumn, nineteen seventy-nine.

Calculate the capital, up the republic my skinny ass.

T.V. tells a million lies. The papers terrified to report

anything that isn't handed on a presidential spoon,

I'm just profoundly frustrated by all this. So, what to do, man.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ignoreland.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ignoreland.

If they weren't there we would have created them. Maybe, it's true,

but I'm resentful all the same. Someone's got to take the blame.

D5 D7(no 3rd) G/D Em7

I know that this is vitriol. No solution, spleen-venting,

D5 D7(no 3rd) G/D Em7

But I feel better having screamed; don't you?

They desecrated winter, nineteen seventy-nine.

Capital collateral. Brooding duplicitous, wicked and able, media-ready,

heartless, and labeled. Super U.S. citizen, super achiever,

mega ultra power dosing. Relax.

Defense, defense, defense, defense. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ignoreland.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ignoreland.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

{Outro:}

"This is not a revolution, I did not do the revolution, thank you"
