  • Pre>in answer to the question about the groove this song is based on here
  • Is a rough version. Im not sure if its right nor not. its possibly Ive made
  • It (the chorus especially) needlessly over-complicated. its probably quite simple
  • For someone who can actually play a bit.
  • Intro:
  • Am / am / am / am / dus2 / dus2 / dus2 / a9
  • Am 577555
  • Dsus2 557755
  • A9 557555
  • Am / am / am / am / dus2 / dus2 / dus2 / a9
  • Ci vil is ation
  • Am / am / am / am / dus2 / dus2 / dus2 / a9
  • Has come a long way
  • D7
  • Out of the mud where chitinous bugs
  • Am / am / am / am / dus2 / dus2 / dus2 / a9
  • Eat each other all day
  • Am / am / am / am / dus2 / dus2 / dus2 / a9
  • Am / am / am / am / dus2 / dus2 / dus2 / a9
  • [and so on for all the verses]
  • Now were in the clouds working overtime for our pay
  • Countin the numbers and being the bugs that eat each other today
  • Sitting in an office in a publishing house
  • Or in a big company working a computer clicking a mouse
  • Pulling up your file checking your sales
  • Meeting those quotas and accommodating voters thats the holy grail
  • Chorus
  • Am c d d7 dsus2 a9
  • Cos its a bean counter and if that dont fill you with terr or
  • Am c d d7 dsus2 a9
  • Bean counter. takin the human out of the human err or
  • In a glass tower uptown or downtown
  • Shes workin every hour runnin through your contract writing your deficit down
  • Shes downsizing everything including her brain
  • Snackin on potato chips smackin her lips lickin her pencil again
  • Chorus repeat
  • From wall street to hong kong. chinee to chancery lane
  • Youre being rubber stamped your style is being cramped. it all comes out the same
  • Theyre not being paid to think. thats not the idea
  • And they never run out of red ink, get that particularly clear
  • Chorus repeat
  • Snackin on potato chips givin you a scan
  • Deleting your account phasing you out in the trash can
  • Now if you dont meet projections. if there aint enough zeroes involved
  • Youll get stamped rejections and then that problem is solved /pre>
