 Come home and slam the door of your 4x4

 And take a walk through the uniform lawn
 F# minorF#m
 Knowing you will die in the town you were born
  B minorBm
 A augmentedA pre-packaged meal, a pre-packaged plate

 In front of the tv on a pre-packaged tray

 The choice to be free

 The building up of the community

 And you tell me like there never was a doubt

 That it's all planned out, how I'll be living
   G+G
 They dangle a carrot to keep me driven
 E minorEm
 But now I'm killing anything I'm given
   B minorBm
 Cos I will never give in
 F# minorF#m
 I'll take a hammer, and with precisition
 G+G
 Tear up the newspaper, and smash the television
