[Intro 1]
[Am][G]
[Dm]

[Verse 1]
She stares [Dm]at the screen,
at the little words of green
Tries [Am]to do remember what [G]to
do nex[D]t
There's a trace of [Dm]frustration
that crosses her face
Search[Am]ing for the key
[G]she should [D]press[Dm]
And I [F]would help her [Dm]if I
only know how
But these [C]things are a mystery
to [F]me too
[Dm]And it seems that t[G]he Corporate
[Am]eyes they are watch[G]ing
[Dm]She fears [D]for her job[G]
[Am]and the moments a[G]re passing
[D]I stare at [G]her nametag and
[Am]I think to myself
[G]Both [D]you and I,
we never [C]asked for any [D]of this
[Dm]

[Verse 2]
So let's take a walk up past
the chemical works
Where the sky [Am]turns [G]green
[D]at night[Dm]
And we'll talk about [D]getting
[Dm]away from here
Some dif[Am]ferent [G]kind [D]of life[Dm]
[F]But even in the freshest [Dm]mountain air
The jet [C]fighters practise [F]overhead
And [Dm]they're drilling these [G]hills for
[Am]uranium deposit[G]s
[Dm]And they'll bury the [G]waste
for [Am]our children to inherit
[G]And tho[Dm]ugh this is all[G] done
[Am]for our own benefit,
[G]I s[D]wear we [C]never asked
[D]for any of this
[Dm]

[Verse 3]
This golden age of communication
Means everyone [Am]talks at
[G]the same [D]time
[Dm]And liberty just means
the freedom to exploit
Any [Am]weakness that [G]you can [Dm]find
Turn [F]off the TV [Dm]just [D]for a while
[Dm]Let [D]us whisp[C]er to each other i[F]nstead
And [Dm]we'll hope that [G]the Corporate
[Am]ears do not listen
[G]Lest we find [D]ourselves [G]committing
[Am]some kind [G]of treason
[Dm]And filed in [G]the tapes without rhyme,
[Am]without reason
[G]While the[D]y tell us that it'[G]s all for
our [Am]own protec[G]tion,
[D]I swear [C]we never[D][Dm][D]
[C][D]
[C]asked for [D]any of this
