Keep on strumming through them pull-offs and hammer-ons. [Verse 1]
E
I can feel my brain a'changin'

E
Acclimating to the madness

E
I can feel my outrage shift into a dull, despondent sadness

A
I can feel a crust growing over my eyes

               E
Like a falcon hood

             B7
I've got the normalization blues

   A                         E
This isn't normal, this isn't good
[Verse 2]
E
I'm detached and I'm distracted

E
All keyed up and unproductive

E
Vacillating between being all excited and disgusted

A
And then dozing lackadaisically

A                                       E
In this bubble where I've made my mental home

 B7                                 A
Connection's more important now than it ever was

                    E
But I'd rather be alone
[Verse 3]
E
And when we talk about the president

E
We're either pissed off or we're giggling

E
About an atrocity he's committing

E
Or some stupid shit he's tweeting

      A                                                       E
He's a symptom and a weapon of the evil men who really run the show

             B                            A                              E
The ones who melt down human beings into money like a cruel sorcerer's stone

 E
And they try to divide us, and largely they're succeeding

 E
'Cause they've undermined our confidence in the news that we are reading

 A                                                                     E
And they make us fight each other with our faces buried deep inside our phones

B                                 A                                     E
Rest in peace to the Information Age, those days are now long dead and gone
[Verse 4]
E
I can see the weather changing

E
And I can feel the soul decaying

E
I'm observing drastic changes in the way we're all behaving

A
I can see the soothers saying

A                                      E
Furthermore, I could believe it to be true

B                                   A
Connection's more important now than it ever was

                          E
Buddy, what are you gonna do?
[Outro]
A                             E
This is the golden age of dickotry

              A                     B
Probably the last golden age of anything

       A                                     E             C#m
And the ugliest word in the English language is "Anthropocene"

                   E
Good luck everybody

    E
Good luck!
