------------------------------------------------------ [Verse 1]
Emaj7                  C#m
  I think we must have all gone mad

            G#m
We're being right turned over

Emaj7                  C#m
  They promised us the Earth

                       G#m
Instead, we've got The Great Depression

Emaj7                  C#m
  Now, you're free and easy with the flays,

               G#m
You bring your brothers and sisters

Emaj7                   C#m
 "I'm alright, Jack, so sod the rest,"

       G#m
Is the new dissension
[Pre-Chorus]
A           B
  Into the abyss

A                              G#
  Backwards and forwards, it's always down

       C#m
It's a desperate war

                 F#m
You're trying to climb yourself out

          A                             B           C
You don't care who you stab or stoop to help them o-out
[Chorus]
          F  Dm                      Am
Hey, hey, hey - well, that's not the way

          F  Dm                      Am
Hey, hey, hey - well, that's not the way

          Bb   F  Eb  C*
Hey, hey, hey
[Verse 2]
Emaj7                        C#m
  No sense or reason in your fussing and fighting

         G#m
And your violent obsession

Emaj7                    C#m
  Who's ever really left feeling fine

          G#m
After The Great Depression?

Emaj7                        C#m
  No sense of purpose in the competition,

        G#m
Keeping up with the Joneses

Emaj7                        C#m
  You buy a house, you buy a car

                         G#m
You buy a marriage and a bed of roses
[Pre-Chorus]
A           B
  Into the abyss

A                              G#
  Backwards and forwards, it's always down

       C#m
It's a desperate war

                 F#m
You're trying to climb yourself out

          A                             B           C
You don't care who you stab or stoop to help them o-out
[Chorus]
          F  Dm                      Am
Hey, hey, hey - well, that's not the way

          F  Dm                      Am
Hey, hey, hey - well, that's not the way

          Bb   F  Eb  C*
Hey, hey, hey
[Outro]
