We live in  Orwellian times

Everywhere you look, everywhere you turn

Dm7
The future fights the past, the books begin to burn

C
I'll walk you through the apocalypse

Am7
Where me and you could co-exist

Everywhere you look, everywhere you turn

The futurе fights the past, the books begin to burn

C
Words wagе war, meanings being missed

Am7
I'll walk you through the apocalypse
[Interlude] C Em7 F G C [Verse 2]

On the playing fields, in exclusive clubs

B                       Bb                       C
And the people machines still making fools of us
