1984

Dm Bb F C


[Verse 1]
 Dm                      Bb
Soon we'll be scouring ravaged landscapes
       F                         C
Scavenging scrapes of the city to salvage the past
       Dm                      Bb
The social divide between us and them
     F                             C
Has far surpassed the weight of our wallets


[Chorus]
  (let Ring)
    Dm
Electric minds
 Bb
Nothing mean anything
 F
When we cheapen our genuine feelings
   C
With a computer screen
     (Let Ring)
     Dm
Electric fingertips
      Bb
To sell your soul to corporate demons
    F                             C
Marketing your life to fit the figures and the polls
 (Let Ring)
  C
Charting your consumption
N.C.
To construct the perfect mold


[Verse 2]
   Dm
I fuckin' give up playing catch up
Bb
I can't keep up you can keep it
    F
If you cannot see the change
       C
It's because it isn't there
 Dm
The means to build technology
 Bb
To perpetuate these trends
 F                                      C
Costs us so much more than dollar and cents in the end


[Chorus]
  (let Ring)
    Dm
Electric minds
 Bb
Nothing mean anything
 F
When we cheapen our genuine feelings
   C
With a computer screen
     (Let Ring)
     Dm
Electric fingertips
      Bb
To sell your soul to corporate demons
    F                             C
Marketing your life to fit the figures and the polls
 (Let Ring)
  C
Charting your consumption
N.C.
To construct the perfect mold


[Instrumental]
Bb F Bb A
Bb F A Bb C


[Bridge]
   Dm
Pull the wires from your teeth
 Bb
Your fingers from the keys
    F
Your spine from the cable
    C
Your eyes from the screen (x4)

     Dm                               Bb
Your entire life fits in the palms of their hands
    F                         C
Can't you see it's only getting worse
   Dm                      Bb
Humans have evolved into corporations
  F                     C
Can't you see this is 1984


[Chorus]
  (let Ring)
    Dm
Electric minds
 Bb
Nothing mean anything
 F
When we cheapen our genuine feelings
   C
With a computer screen
     (Let Ring)
     Dm
Electric fingertips
      Bb
To sell your soul to corporate demons
    F                             C
Marketing your life to fit the figures and the polls
 (Let Ring)
  C
Charting your consumption
N.C.
To construct the perfect mold
