hooray for the 21st centuary

Am		Gm		Dm		E
Every sweet little lie ever whispered to you now rings true
Am		Gm		Dm		E
No need to wake the seeping dogs, they just turn on you
Am		Gm		Dm		E
i'll make my way instead to the foot of your ivory tower,
Am		Gm		Dm		E
but no love do i find there, amongst the thorns and the dying flowers

Am	G	F	E
what became of the love we knew,
Am	G	F	E
we beat the swine black and blue,
Am	G	F	E
you and i, me and you,
Am	G	F	E
beat the swine black and blue,

Am		Gm		Dm		E
the thames and the mersey, the tyne and the wear and the crige,
Am		Gm		Dm		E
they spew slums like gravy on the banks of the poisonious tide,
Am		Gm		Dm		E
they washed up a pale thin girl alone in her ivory tower
Am		Gm		Dm		E
scratching her skin on the thorn and the stems of the dying flower 



Am	G	F	E
what became of the love we knew,
Am	G	F	E
we beat the swine black and blue,
Am	G	F	E
you and i, me and you,
Am	G	F	E
beat the swine black and blue,
Am	G	F	E
what became of the working class
Am	G	F	E
nike and reebok, adidas
Am	G	F	E
scratchcards, pimpes and ecstasy
Am	G	F	E
hooray for the 21st century
