It got too hot and so we overthrew the [Am] system
This is no place for human existence like [D] right here
On [F] this bright [B] blue marble
Orbited [Am] by trash
[C] Man, there's no [Am] need for that
It was no [C#] big thing to give up the way of [Am] life we had
[D] [Am] My social life is [C] now quite a bit [Am] less hectic
[C] The nightlife [Am] and the protests are [D] pretty scarce
I [F] mostly spend [B] the long [C] days
Walking through [Am] the city

[C] Some night salesmen and [E] dancing
If you [C] don't mind gathering [Am] and hunting

Things that would have been helpful to know before the [Am] revolution
[D]
Though I'll admit some [C] degree [Am] of resentment
For the [C] sudden lack of convenience [D] around here
But [F] there are some [B] visionaries among us
[C] Developing [Am] some products
To aid us in our struggle [D] to survive
On this [C#] godless rock that refuses [C#m] to [C] die
