The Overload Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D](Ye[Dm]ah,[D][Dm][D]
yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2]
[D]I'm shaking up my eight ball
'cause I'm trying to see
What tomorrow's world
has got in store for me
Your freedom [Dm]don't come cheap
I'm bartering hard with no [D]room to give
Liv[Dm]ing my life as if my head
ain't a com[D]plete [C]sieve
[D]Hold your horses,
[Dm]bandage up it's bloo[D]died knees
Poor thing's been ex[Dm]hausted [D]since '83
But from the causeway it's [Dm]hard to see
the [D]full extent of the damage
You couldn't see [Dm]the wood
s for the trees
[D]Fuck me, how am I supposed to [Dm]cope
[D]In the age of the gentrified savage
There's [Dm]no hope

[Verse 3]
[D]Kid[Dm] s these days[D] they think
they've been hard done by
But they've never even looked at
an iron lung like I did once
They've got the whole thing wrong,
just [Dm]bumbling along
[D]On the bottom rung sucking each other
off and huffing designer bongs
It's a constant hit,
it's not worth what they paying [Dm]for it
[D]In my [C]day,
[D]the gear on the street was so weak
It [Em]could eat your [D]ambition [Em]in
a mat[D]ter of week[Em]s
Just try[D]ing to envision the peak,
and that's [Dm]bleak[D]
And that's bleak

[Verse 4]
The [D]overload of discontent
The constant burden of making sense
It won't relent, it won't repent
How to remain in dissonance

[Verse 5]
The [D]overload of discontent
The constant burden of making [C]sense[D]
It won't relent, it won't repent

[Verse 6]
How to remain in dissonance
[D]
Now then
Look here, what you need
to understand is
[Dm]If you wanna [D]make some
decent money from it
You'd better off kicking that dickhead singer
you've got in out the band
And getting yourself a gig
[Dm]down The Grand
[G]I know the land[D]lord Fat Andy
And I bet he'd be up for [Dm]giving you [D]a leg up
If you just give him a hand
Just don't be do[Dm]ing originals
[G]Play the[Dm] sta[D]ndards
And don't [Dm]get political
I know what that [D]dickhead singers like
He'll [Dm]en d up in the back
of an ambulance
[G]With the mic stand [D]rammed up [G]his arse
[C]Twice [Dm]over
All 'cause he couldn't [G]ignore
[D]the flag and be polite
Show some respect and
listen to my advice
Because if you don't challenge
me [G]on anything
You'll find I'm actually very [D]nice
Are you listening?
[G]I'm actually very fucking[D] nice

[Verse 7]
The [D]overload of discontent
The constant burden of making sense
It won't relent, it won't repent
How to remain in dissonance

[Verse 8]
The [D]overload [Dm]of discon
[Em]tent
The constant [Dm]burden [F]of making sen[D]se
It won't [Dm]relent, it won't repent
[Em]How to remain [G]in dissonance

[Verse 9]
[D]The ove[Dm]rload of [F]discontent
[Em]The constant burde[Dm]n
[F]of mak[Dm]ing sen[D]se
It won't relent,
[Dm]it won't[F] repen[Em]t
How to re[G]main in dissonance
[D]How to remain in dissonance
How to remain in dissonance
How to remain in dis[Dm]sonance
[D]How to remain in dissonance
