D5
She stares at the screen
At the little words of green
A5                 G5            D5
Tries to remember what to do next

D5
There's a trace of frustration
That crosses her face
A5                 G5                 D5
Searching for the keys she should press

F5
And I would help her
        D5
If I only know how
              C5                       F5
But these things are a mystery to me too

        D5               G5
And it seems that the corporate
A5              G5
Eyes they are watching
      D5             G5
She fears for her job
            A5          G5
And the moments are passing
     D5               G5
I stare at her nametag
      A5          G5
And think to myself
             D5               C5
Both you and I, we never asked
       D5
For any of this


Chord pattern is the same for the rest of the song

So let's take a walk
Up past the chemical works
Where the sky turns green at night

And we'll talk about
Bout getting away from here
Some difference kind of life

But even in the freshest mountain air
While the jet fighters practice overhead
And they're drilling these hills
For uranium deposits
And they'll bury the waste
For our children to inherit
And though this is all done
For our own benefit, I swear
We never asked for any of this

Well this golden age of communication
Means everyone talks at the same time
And liberty just means
Some freedom to exploit
Any weakness that you can find
Well turn off the TV just for a while
Let us whisper to each other instead

And we'll hope that the corporate ears
Do not listen
Unless we find ourselves committing
Some kind of treason
And filed in the tapes
Without rhyme, without reason
While they tell us that it's all
For our own protection, I swear
We never asked for any of this...
