Verse 1:
F#      G#m
Flat top intervention
E         B
Bringing home the new invention
G#m       F#       E
See it there in pieces on the ground
 F#     G#m       E       B
A television war between the cynics and the saints
G#m        F#           E
Flip the dial and that's whose side you're on
 F#        G#m          E        B
A-sleeping on the White House lawn ain't never changed a thing
   G#m       A#m        B
Just look at all the washed out Hippie dreams

Chorus:
     B A    E
And it's falling all around us
B       A          E
 Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
B A    E
Fallin' all around us
B       A        E
 I'll turn my head off for a while


Verse 2:
  F#     G#m
The tabloid generation's lost
E        B
Choking on it's fear
G#m        F#       E
Used to be that's all we had to fear
   F#         G#m       E        B
And conscience keeps us quiet while the crooked love to speak
     G#m          F#        E
There's knowledge wrapped in blankets on the street
  F#    G#m       E       B
A visionary coward says that anger can be power
  G#m        A#m    B
As long as there's a victim on TV


Chorus:
     B A    E
And it's falling all around us
B       A          E
 Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
B A    E
Fallin' all around us
B       A        E
 I'll turn my head off for a while


Verse 3:
G#m    A       C#m    B      G#m A
  And my dirty dreams all come alive on my TV screen
  C#m      B      G#m      A
And assasination plots show me what I haven't got
     C#m    B            G#m A
Show me what I love, and who I'm supposed to be
    C#m      B  F# E
Show me everything I need
    F#   E F# E
Show it all to me
    F#   E
Show it all to me

And it's falling all around us
B       A          E
 Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
B A    E
Fallin' all around us
B       A        E
I'll turn my head off for a whi-i-i-i-ile
