Drowned In Paper

  G                  C
Drowned in paper, strangled in wire,
    G                          
our civilization is bound to go 
  D
down,
        G                          
and the birds and the bees and the 
 C
bugs will take over,
        G                   
and the old green world goes 
  D         G
spinning around.

          G                        
    Now, some say your world will 
  C
be ended in fire,
     G                             
    some say it`ll be frozen to ice
         D
 in the heart.
       G                    C
    But I know just how our race 
will expire,

          G                    
    it`ll be our own doing from 
  D         G
being so smart.

       G                     C
    I knew a young girl, so fair and
 so handsome,
          G                      
    her cheeks were so bright and 
                   D
her lips were so red.
             G                     
    But from typing and filing and 
C
taking dictations,
         G                   
    her shape is now known as 
      D           G
"stenographer`s breed".

        G                  C
    I knew a young fellow, so full 
of vigour,
    G                        
    he took a job with the TV 
    D
repair.
             G                     
    Now his power has shortage, his
  C
 wires are tangled,
         G                         
    he`s got a fat belly, and he`s 
 D          G
losing his hair.

            G                    
    I`ve recorded, I`ve measured, 
       C
I`ve clicked with a camera,
       G                         
    I raised a long sight of this 
                D
stream-side of life.
           G                      
    But afraid to jump in, I know 
C
all about water,
                G                
    but don`t know how to swim in 
        D          G
the struggle and strife.
