Never in existence has there been such a resistance
Dm7 G7 C E7
To ideas meant to free us, if you could see us then you'd listen

Trends come and go, and your friends wanna know
A7Sus4 Fmaj13 Em7
Why you aren't just happy making crappy little gizmos
Dm G Csus4 C N.C.
Every kid knows they'll just throw this stuff away

Dm7 G7 C E7
He'll sit back while we attack the utter lack of our enjoyment
Dm7 G7 C Am7
It may be tough to swallow, but our threats are far from hollow
Dm7 G7 C N.C. E7
