Biography:
Klaatu was a Canadian progressive rock band formed in 1973 and disbanded in 1982. Members John Woloschuk, Dee Long and Terry Draper lived in Toronto. They released five studio albums, the most famous of which is the 1976 debut 3:47 EST (AKA Klaatu), which, due to a rumor started by a DJ, was believed by some to be a front for new work by the Beatles. The album's artwork contained no credits for the performers, and there were at times vocal similarities with Lennon and McCartney.

I'm not sure who the vocalist is, but it sounds a lot like Bono to me.
[Verse #1:]
F C Bbdim
It started off a routine day
Dm E7sus4 E
I got through the morning in the usual way
Bbsus2 Bbmb5
I caught the bus on time
Am Am7/G D
Good morning, Mr. Driver, drive
Bb Bbsus2 Bb(b5)
As I sat inside my overcoat I clutched my cane
Am/C Bbdim Dm Am7 F Bb/C
And pressed my nose against the foggy window pane Ho hum
C/E E7 F Bb Bbsus2 Bbm11
The life I lead would even make a dead man yawn
[Verse #2:]
Dm Dm/C
Midday comes
C Bbdim
I break for lunch
Dm Dm7/C E7sus4 E
With my sandwich and a beer I go on a hunch
Bb Bbsus2 Bbmb5
To the park where I hope to find
Am Am/G D
A little bit of peace of mind
Bb Bbsus2 Bb(b5)
As I sat there on a bench amidst the rodent race
Am Bbdim Dm Am7 F Bb/C
I felt a strange sensation that without a trace appeared
C/E C7sus2 E7 F
But then as quickly disappeared again
[Break]

So tell me what's the bloody point of playing the game

With so much to lose yet so little to gain

You sell your life away

Bb G6/B G7/B
Can't you see you're just a cog working like a dog
F Am Eb D
You trade your future for a dead-end job
Bb G7 C
That's full of routine days

Routine days
[Verse #3:]
F6 F C Bbdim
I race the clock to the end of my day
Dm Dm7/C E7sus4 E
The paycheck in my pocket makes me feel okay
Bb Bsus2 Bbmb5
But was it worth the grind
Am Am7/G D9 D
Just to keep from falling behind
Bb Bbsus2 Bb(b5)
I stand here in the queue behind a foul cigar
Am Bbdim Dm Am F Bb/C
My face discreetly buried in a book on Mars Hum drum
C/E C7sus2 E7 F Bb Bbsus2 Bbm11 F
And I'm waiting on the pier 'til Charon comes
