Tuning: G C E A
Intro: C Em Verse 1:
From the vCiew in the office on the sixteenth floor Em (And that you gave 21 years for). StCaring out the window at the big billboard Em To remind you what you're fighting for: It's thAmis guy's life with his flawless smile, His bEmeautiful wife and his perfect child. Am So to buy and be this guy you choose And remGind yourself your tie is not a noose
FrCeedom is not a coffee break with your boss. EmEat, sleep, breath at pre-destined stops. C And Xerox one hundred times: Now one hEmundred people read what bored you to write Am And we can all be bored as a team after all. Em Ain't that the American Dream? Am If that's the dream and you can't shake it up G Then please wake me up.
Chorus:
The world's closing Cin; I'm kicking out. They can't hGear me when I shout: Modern lAmife, modern life has let me dGown. Its soul destrCoying, don't you love it? You can tGake this job and shove it: Modern lAmife, modern life has let me dGown. Modern lCife, Modern life, modern lEmife has let me down C Modern life, modern lEmife has let me down
Verse 2:
Come on hCome and slam the door of your four by four That you nEmever had and never will have a use for. C And take a walk through the uniform lawn KnEmowing you will die in the town you were born. A prAme-packaged meal, a pre-packaged plate; In frEmont of the TV on a pre-packaged tray The chAmoice to be free, and we choose to be Like Geverybody else.
Chorus 2:
The world's closing Cin; I'm kicking out. They can't hGear me when I shout: Modern lAmife, modern life has let me dGown. Its soul destrCoying, don't you love it? You can tGake this job and shove it: Modern lAmife, modern life has let me dGown.
Break:
Modern lDmife, modern life, modern Amlife has let me down Em Modern life, modern liFfe has let me down
Whatever hDmappened to the love and the unity? Am The building up of the community? Em Cos now it's all opportunity; It's like the Focean's tainted with impurity. Dm So when the norm is the lunacy, And they tAmell you to jump do you agree? Em And if I don't it's why they're suing me: It's lFike you don't know what you do to me.
When you shDmut me up and you shout me out, And you tAmell me like there never was a doubt. That it's Emall planned out: how I'll be living; DFangle a carrot to keep me driven. Dm But now I'm killing anything I'm given Cos AmI will never give in! Em I'll take a hammer and with precision TFear up the newspaper, And smFash the television!
Chorus (first part is quieter):
The world's closing Cin; I'm kicking out. They can't hGear me when I shout: Modern lAmife, modern life has let me dGown. Its soul destrCoying, don't you love it? You can tGake this job and shove it: Modern lAmife, modern life has let me dGown. Modern lCife, Modern life, modern lEmife has let me down C Modern life, modern lEmife has let me down C Modern life, modern lEmife has let me down C Modern life, modern lEmife has let me down
