The little ones sit by their TV screens

This species has amused itself to death


D5                  G5
Amused itself to death
D5                  G5
Amused itself to death


D5                 E5 F#5   G5
We watched the tragedy unfold

We did as we were told

We bought and sold
D5             E5     F#5      G5 
It was the greatest show on earth

But then it was over
D5    
We oohed and aahed

We drove our racing cars
G5                             
We ate our last few jars of caviar
D5
And somewhere out there in the stars
               G5
A keen-eyed look-out

Spied a flickering light
              D5
Our last hurrah
              G5
Our last hurrah


E5                       A5
And when they found our shadows
E5                      A5
Grouped around the TV sets
E5                    A5
They ran down every lead
       E5             A5   A#5 B5
They repeated every test   
                   C#5     D5             G5
They checked out all the data on their lists
          B5                       C#5         D5
And then the alien anthropologists
          G5          F#5        E5
Admitted they were still perplexed
D5
But on eliminating every other reason
         G5
For our sad demise
D5                                 G5
They logged the only explanation left
                                         B5
This species has amused itself to death


E5              A5
No tears to cry
E5               A5
No feelings left
E5                  A5                   B5
This species has amused itself to death
           A5       G5
Amused itself to death


B5         A5       G5
Amused itself to death

B5         A5       G5
Amused itself to death
