G                      A
So Donald is the King and Boris is the Queen
      C                           G
It's almost like we're living in a world of make believe
  G                       A
A double dose of dopamine on the daily diet
 C                          G
The politics are toxic, the country is divided
    G                      A
By crippling austerity and deregulation
C                 G
Paving the path to privatisation
       G                      A
And to chlorinated chicken and weaponised 5G frequencies
     C                        G
It's profit over people, it's profit over everything
       G                            A
That's causing global warming, it's now impossible to deny
          C                        G
There's a storm brewing darling and there's nowhere to hide

[Prechorus]
     C                         G
And every time the world needs saving
          A                C
There's a nappy that needs changing
C                          G
I got some bills that need paying
    D                  G
I'm just gonna keep on singing

[Chorus]
        G
Because life goes on
    A                             C
And on and on and on and on and on
D         G
Life goes on

[Verse 2]
G                       A
And I take a step back, try to see things differently
                C                       G
Because there's also an opinion that in fact we're doing brilliantly
        G                          A
There's never been a safer time to be a human being
        C                                       G
There's less war now than ever before, less disease and less famine
  G                       A
Obesity claims more lives than starvation
      C                              G
More people die of old age than from lack of medication
           G                                A
It's quite telling of the times, it's never been like this before
     C                              D            G
More people take their own lives now than die in wars

[Prechorus]
     C                        G
And obviously the world keeps changing
A                          C
And different battles keep raging
C                G
My tomatoes need watering
D                      G
I'm just gonna keep on singing

[Chorus]
        G
Because life goes on
    A                             C
And on and on and on and on and on
D         G
Life goes on

[Verse 3]
            G                                 A
And there's children marching in the streets, they give me hope
         C                                            G
And they strike off school on Friday because they can see through the joke
        G                               A
And the system doesn't serve them, it's gambling their future
           C                                      G
So they'll take it in their own hands and they'll start a revolution
           G                  A
And I will stand beside them, try to do my bit
          C                      D    G
Help a 16 year old girl kill the oil industry

[Prechorus]
        C                            G
Because I believe the world's worth saving
      A                       C
And I hope that if we keep on learning
C                               G
Then we can stop the world from burning
    D              G
And we can keep on singing

[Chorus]
        G
Because life goes on
    A                             C
And on and on and on and on and on
D         G
Life goes on

[Bridge]
     C                         G
Yeah life is ridiculous, it's also hilarious
         A                        C
It can be dangerous and sometimes even tedious
C                          G
But it is resilient and it is beautiful
D                     G
And I believe in it, long may it continue

[Chorus]
        G
Because life goes on
    A                             C
And on and on and on and on and on
D         G
Life goes on

        G
Because life goes on
    A                             C
And on and on and on and on and on
D         G
Life goes on

        G
Because life goes on
    A                             C
And on and on and on and on and on
D         G
Life goes on

        G
Because life goes on
    A                             C
And on and on and on and on and on
D         G
Life goes on
