by Operation Ivy chorded by swaid [Intro] G D [Verse 1]
Am
Empty factories to the east and all our waste

D                                          G               D
The shape of things that came shows on the broken worker's face

Am
To the west you'll find a silicon promised land

      D                                   G            D
Where machines replace our minds for systematic profit plans

Am
Course of human progress staggers like a drunk

    D                                  G                D
Its steps are quick and heavy, and its mind is slow and blunt

Am
I look for optimism, but I just don't know

    D                             G                   D
Its seeds are planted in a poison place where nothing grows
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Am                 G
It's 1989, stand up and take a look around

C                   D
Weather's bitter tension, it seems, is sinking down

Am                   G
Drunk with power and fighting one another

C                    D
Every hour shows the winter getting harder
[Chorus 1]
Am                             D
There's a freeze up (There's a freeze up coming)

Am                   D
There's a freeze up (Freeze up coming)

Am                            D
There's a freeze up(There's a freeze up coming)

Am                  D
There's a freeze up coming
[Verse 2]
Am
One nation stands the tallest radiating blinding light

D                             G             D
Plastic and flourescent energy robbing us of sight

Am
Set in our way, content with our decay

   D                              G           D
We wave the flag of freedom as we conquer and invade

Am
Ever ask yourself, "Where's my place in this hell?"

    D                                       G                   D
But no one's there to tell you, 'cause they don't know that themselves

Am
Well-rehearsed lines from our elated politicians

   D                           G            D
No longer offer solace, we can see the self-destruction
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Am                 G
It's 1989, stand up and take a look around

C                   D
Weather's bitter tension, it seems, is sinking down

Am                   G
Drunk with power and fighting one another

C                    D
Every hour shows the winter getting harder
[Chorus 2]
Am                             D
There's a freeze up (There's a freeze up coming)

Am                   D
There's a freeze up (Freeze up coming)

Am                            D
There's a freeze up(There's a freeze up coming)

Am                  D
There's a freeze up coming
[Solo] Am G C D Am G C D [Bridge]
Am                            D
Just one political song, just one political song

   Am                                D
To drop into the list that stretches years and years long

Am                            D
Just one political song, just one political song

   Am                                D
To drop into the list that stretches years and years long

Am     N.C.
Static and division is increasing like a storm
N.C. We are shelter, We are forewarned N.C. Nothing can be changed except ourselves
                                 D
Nothing can be changed except ourselves
[Outro]
Am                  D
There's a freeze up,

Am                  D
There's a freeze up coming

Am                  D
There's a freeze up,

Am                  D
There's a freeze up coming

Am                             D
There's a freeze up (There's a freeze up coming)

Am                   D
There's a freeze up (Freeze up coming)

Am                             D
There's a freeze up (There's a freeze up coming)

Am                  D      Am
There's a freeze up coming
