Verse:
       Em           D/F#       G        Em                  G
I was thinking to myself this morning, watching my boys play
        Em  D/F#     G               C
Of how different my life was when I was their age
        Em      D/F#      G               Em              G
Now machines control the people, and the people shoot at kids

I shudder to think about what the next thing is
