Normalization Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Bb][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
I [D]can feel my brain a- changin',
acclimating to the madness
I can feel my outrage shift into a dull,
despondent sadness
I [G]can feel a crust growing over my
eyes like a falcon [D]hood
I've got [A]the normalization blues
[G]This isn't normal, this isn't goo[D]d

[Verse 2]
I'm [D]detached and I'm distracted
All keyed up but unproductive
Vacillating between being all
excited and disgusted
And [G]then dozing lackadaisically
in this bubble
Where I've made my mental
[D]home[A]
Connection's more important
now [G]than it ever was
But I'd rather be [D]alone

[Interlude 1]
[D][G]
[D]
[A][Dm][D][Dm][A]

[Verse 3]
And when [A]we talk [D]about the president
We're either pissed off
or we're giggling
About an atrocity he's committing
Or some stupid shit he's tweeting
He's [G]a symptom and
a weapon of the evil men
Who really run the [D]show
The ones [A]who melt down
human beings into [G]money
Like a cruel Sorcerer's [D]Stone

[Verse 4]
[D]
They try to divide us
And largely they're succeeding
'Cause they've undermined
our confidence
In the news that we are reading
And [G]they make us fight each other
With our faces buried deep inside our [D]phones
[A]Rest in peace to the Information Age[G]
Those days are now long dead [D]and gone

[Verse 5]
I [D]can see the weather changing
And I can feel the soul
decaying
I'm observing drastic changes
In the way we're all behaving
I [G]can see the sooth they're
saying
Furthermore I could believe it to
[D]be true[A]
Connection's more important
now [G]than it ever was
Buddy, what are you gonna [D]do

[Verse 6]
[G]
This is the golden age of [D]dick- otry
Probably [G]the last golden
age of any[A]thing
And [G]the ugliest word in the English language
[D]is [Bm]Anthropocene
Good luck, [G]every[D]body
Good luck
