[Intro]

D F#m Adim Esus4 (x2)
[Verse 1]
(4/4)
D F#m
Concrete boxes and toxic skies,
Adim Esus4
An information super-high.
D F#m
Crowded people along for the ride,
Adim Esus4
No direction, stolen lives,
D F#m
People scatter folding paper,
Adim Esus4
Waiting for their token waiver,
D F#m
Ambition lost to scaling labour,
Adim Esus4
Imagining invented saviour.
[Bridge]

E Amaj7
I don't think anyone's got a brain in their head!

These seven years of concrete boxes
A7 Amaj7 Am Adim
Have made me numb to you.
Bm G
These seven years of concrete boxes

D F#m
There’s no idols any more.
Adim Esus4
Justified lies in lazy law.
D F#m
Nobody held in awe,
Adim Esus4
Technological overhaul.
D F#m
There’s no leader in the light,
Adim Esus4
To capture public eye.
D F#m
No captain of the flight,
Adim Esus4
Remembered for the fight.
