[Verse 1]
Am7                     C             F6/9
   I picked the morning paper off the floor

       Am7           C               F6/9
It was full of other people's little wars

G                          G/C
  Wouldn't they like their peace?

Am7
    Don't we get bored?
[Chorus]
       F                        Csus2
And we call for the three great stimulants

       Csus2
Of the exhausted ones

              Csus2      Am7
Artifice, bru tality and innocence

Am7
Artifice and

innocense No [Verse 2]
Am7                     Csus2         F6/9
tanks have ever rumbled through these streets

        Am7                Csus2           F6/9
And the drone of planes at night has never frightened me

G                            G/C      Am7
    I keep the hours and the company       that I please
[Chorus]
       F            G           Csus2       F
And we call for the three great stimulants

              Am11
Our appetites find us

               Am11
Release us and blind us

            C
Deep in the night

      G                      G/C
While madmen sit up building bombs

Am7
     And making laws and bars

               F         G
They'd like to slam free choice

         I saw a little lawyer      on the tube

               Am7 Am11     C               F6/9
He said, "It's so -o   easy now, anyone can sue

       G                             G/C         Am7
Let me show you how your petty aggra vations can     profit you!"

   Call for the three great stimulants

Am7  Am11                         C   Csus2       F6/8
           Last night I dreamed I saw the planet  flicker

              Am7  Am11       Csus2
Great forests fell like buffa lo

           F6/9
Everything      got sicker

    G             G/C
And to the bitter end

Am11
    Big business bickered
