hooray for the 21st centuary
Am Gm Dm E
Every sweet little lie ever whispered to you now rings true
Am Gm Dm E
No need to wake the seeping dogs, they just turn on you
Am Gm Dm E
i'll make my way instead to the foot of your ivory tower,
Am Gm Dm E
but no love do i find there, amongst the thorns and the dying flowers
Am G F E
what became of the love we knew,
Am G F E
we beat the swine black and blue,
Am G F E
you and i, me and you,
Am G F E
beat the swine black and blue,
Am Gm Dm E
the thames and the mersey, the tyne and the wear and the crige,
Am Gm Dm E
they spew slums like gravy on the banks of the poisonious tide,
Am Gm Dm E
they washed up a pale thin girl alone in her ivory tower
Am Gm Dm E
scratching her skin on the thorn and the stems of the dying flower
Am G F E
what became of the love we knew,
Am G F E
we beat the swine black and blue,
Am G F E
you and i, me and you,
Am G F E
beat the swine black and blue,
Am G F E
what became of the working class
Am G F E
nike and reebok, adidas
Am G F E
scratchcards, pimpes and ecstasy
Am G F E
hooray for the 21st century
