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 dsus2a9
Cos its a bean counter and if that dont fill you with terror
Amc 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>
