I can't believe it,
The way you look sometimes,

And I don't want it,
The things you're offering me,
  D          F         C       G
symbolized bar code, quick i.d.,
  C#    E  Ab  
oh yeah

      C#    A      E       B
I'm a 21st century digital boy,
I don't know how to live, but I've got a lot of toys,
my daddy is a lazy middle class intellectual,
my mommy's on valium, she's so ineffectual,
Ab
ain't life a mystery?

I can't explain it,
the things they're saying to me,

Bridge
B
I tried to tell you about no control,
C#
but now I really don't know,
A                         E
and then you told me how bad you had to suffer,
Ab
  is that really all you have to offer?

      Ab

Chorus X2 (this is not 100% - it's hard!)
Get front iron claw

Innocence's raped with napalm fire
Everything I want, I really need
Ab
Ain't life a mystery
