Intro
|| F#-7 |C#7(b13) | Amaj9 | Eb-7(b5) :||
Verse
F#-7 D#-7b5
We yell "revolution" before the quiet hours come
Bmin G#-7b5 Bdim
But the roar just fades into a hum
F#-7 D#-7b5
The whole world was watching but they don’t seem to care
Bmin G#-7b5 C#7b13 F#-7
Cause a hollywood housewife just colored her hair
|| F#-7 |C#7(b13) | Amaj9 | Eb-7(b5) ||
There’s a reminder in the branches of the great family tree
When you’re told where to march you’re not free
All the points become pointless when leaders can’t lead
Bmin B-7b5 C#7b13 F#-7
We’re confused and we’re tired, the generation of me
B-7b5 C#7 F#-7 D#-7b5
You want me to pretend things are changing
B-7b5 C#7 F#-7 C#-7b5
You want me to share this with friends
B-7b5 C#7 F#-7 D#-7b5
You want me to buy your stickers and t-shirts
B-7b5 C#7 D7 C#7 |G#-7b5 / / / / / ||
Another false advertisement for a dream unfulfilled
Dmaj Emaj C#7 Dmaj
Nothing will change when the lawless make laws
Dmaj Emaj F#-7
The scourge somehow rose to the top
Dmaj Emaj C#7 Dmaj
As the media enthrones their chosen regime
Dmaj B7 B-7b5 F#-7
They'll broadcast it live to the generation of me
|| F#-7 |C#7(b13) | Amaj9 | Eb-7(b5) ||
Polls and projections and internet memes
Distill us into uninformed teams
Completely convinced that the other side’s wrong
So we’re lead off a cliff by our need to belong
|| F#-7 |C#7(b13) | Amaj9 | Eb-7(b5) ||
Want and be damned still we all want too much
Connected but so far out of touch
Endless distractions mute what we could be
Bmin B-7b5 C#7b13 F#-7
The politically corrected, generation of me
B-7b5 C#7 F#-7 D#-7b5
You want me to pretend things are changing
B-7b5 C#7 F#-7 C#-7b5
You want me to share this with friends
B-7b5 C#7 F#-7 D#-7b5
You want me to buy your stickers and t-shirts
B-7b5 C#7 D7 C#7 |G#-7b5 / / / / / ||
Another false advertisement for a dream unfulfilled
Dmaj Emaj C#7 Dmaj
Nothing will change when the lawless make laws
Dmaj Emaj F#-7
The scourge somehow rose to the top
Dmaj Emaj C#7 Dmaj
As the media enthrones their chosen regime
Dmaj B7 B-7b5 F#-7
They'll broadcast it live to the generation of me
