[Verse 1] GmDm I drink and watch the zoo in motion FC Beautiful people devoid of emotion BbDm Sterilised, pedicured, pedigrees and mankind F Thick as fuck and soulless C And no longer fear genocide GmDm It'??s gonna end from what I reckon FC As I puke my guts up all over the decking BbDm Cos the square reeks of plastic action man FC And Poundshop Kardashians
[Chorus] GmDm How am I supposed to change it? FCBbDmFC If I can't see the wood for the trees? GmDm How am I supposed to change it? FCBbDmFC If I can'??t see the wood for the trees?
[Verse 2] GmDm There'??s an orange faced baby at the wheel of the ship F Doing donuts in the car-park C We watch as it all falls apart Bb We idolise idiots Dm Masturbate to their sex tapes F We love them we hate them C We want to see them fall from Grace
[Verse 3] Gm We laugh at them dishevelled Dm On the front page of The Mail FC Then grab ourselves a pitchfork and go in for the kill Bb Together light vigils Dm Eulogise them on the Internet F When they top themselves C When they couldn'??t take it no more
[Chorus] GmDm How am I supposed to change it? FCBbDmFC If I can'??t see the wood for the trees? GmDm How am I supposed to change it? FCBbDmFC If I can'??t see the wood for the trees?
[Outro] GmDm And how are we supposed to change it? FCBbDm When we can't see the wood for the.. trees, yeah! FCBbDm When we can'??t see the wood for the.. trees, yeah! FCBbDmFC If we can'??t see the wood for the.. trees, yeah!
