We Are 1980

E
Lean back into the wind

                       C         G
It’s an empty cold outside
   E
I sent you back just the smoothest 
rock I could find

 C                             
Accompanied by just a couple of 
                G
words came to mind
         E
It’s an old concept

Sending letters again
C                             
Well thought out, rehearsed and 
              G
written in pen
E
Paperless here is a thing of the 
past
     C                             
I’m cutting down trees and using up
  G
 gas
A            C
We’ve got Mandarax and loveless sex
      G                      
And information passing right 
                        B7       E
through our skin and bones.... oh
E
Spot on with my content for the 
lesser known
Continues after the ad
     C       E
In spite of all of the rules of my 
own

That I break up in stride
C
Ignoring my front, back
                          G
Ignoring my left and my right
           E
It’s my moral compass

And it’s easy to find
C                                 
Well thought out, intentionally 
      G
left behind
E
It’s regrettable, yes

But how could I ever sleep at night?
C                                 
Knowing I had rules and knowing I 
         G
had to abide
A             C
We’ve got Mandarax and loveless sex
      G                      
And information passing right 
                        B7
through our skin and bones
          C
It’s the information age
     G            D
Of lesser consequence to the silence
C
The information age
     G                 D
Of fountain pens and real stationary
C
The information age
     G            D
Of lesser consequence to the silence
C
The information age
