Operation Ivy - Freeze up

^AmEmpty factories to the east and all our waste ^DThe shape of things that came shows on the ^Gbroken worker's ^Dface ^AmTo the west you'll find a silicon promised land Where ^Dmachines replace our minds for syste^Gmatic profit ^Dplans ^AmCourse of human progress staggers like a drunk Its ^Dsteps are quick and heavy, and its ^Gmind is slow and ^Dblunt ^AmI look for optimism, but I just don't know Its ^Dseeds are planted in a poison ^Gplace where nothing ^Dgrows

^AmIt's 1989, stand up^G and take a look around ^CWeather's bitter ten^Dsion, it seems, is sinking down ^AmDrunk with power and ^Gfighting one another ^CEvery hour shows the ^Dwinter getting harder

^AmThere's a freeze up (There's a ^Dfreeze up coming) ^AmThere's a freeze up (^DFreeze up coming) ^AmThere's a freeze up(There's a ^Dfreeze up coming) ^AmThere's a freeze up ^Dcoming

^AmOne nation stands the tallest radiating blinding light ^DPlastic and florescent energy ^Grobbing us of ^Dsight ^AmSet in our way, content with our decay We ^Dwave the flag of freedom as we ^Gconquer and ^Dinvade ^AmEver ask yourself, "Where's my place in this hell?" But ^Dno one's there to tell you, 'cause they ^Gdon't know that them^Dselves ^AmWell-rehearsed lines from our elated politicians No ^Dlonger offer solace, we can ^Gsee the self-^Ddestruction

^AmIt's 1989, stand up^G and take a look around ^CWeather's bitter ten^Dsion, it seems, is sinking down ^AmDrunk with power and ^Gfighting one another ^CEvery hour shows the ^Dwinter getting harder

^AmThere's a freeze up (There's a ^Dfreeze up coming) ^AmThere's a freeze up (^DFreeze up coming) ^AmThere's a freeze up(There's a ^Dfreeze up coming) ^AmThere's a freeze up ^Dcoming

^AmJust one political song, just ^Done political song To ^Amdrop into the list that stretches ^Dyears and years long ^AmJust one political song, just ^Done political song To ^Amdrop into the list that stretches ^Dyears and years long ^AmStatic
