Verse 1:
       F                      G
We got machines we invent and learn how to build
         C                         Am
That can stir the cement for giant holes to be filled
     F                      G
With a balance of minerals, liquids and anthracite
        C                    Am
Through trial and error at a particular Fahrenheit
   C                               G
So why can't there be some kind of mighty machine
         C        Dm            Am
To fight feelings they are just feelings

Verse 2:
       F                           G
We got blueprints for rockets that defeat gravitation
     C                         Am
With combustion hydraulics and discrete calculation
             F                          G
Of where the garment line snaps and the soundwave convulses
   C                                       Am
To blast through gaps in the armour of the magnetic pulses
       C                              G
Like a fist through a screen so where is this machine
         C        G                    Am
To fight feelings they are just little feelings

Verse 3:
   F                            G
In boxes and tubes we fight the cold and the heat
     C                           Am
With square numbers and cubes to decisive defeat
        F                          G
Setting digital dials on fractions each can agree on
   C                        Am
In hot orange spirals or in winter green freons
        C                              G
Spewing atoms or ice but where do they have this device
         C        G                    Am
To fight feelings they are just stupid feelings

Verse 4:
            F                       G
Just as the Grand Coulee Dam merely begun as a dream
          C                             Am
One day a bike helmet cam grew from the era of steam
         F                             G
So maybe some magic time constructions we are not aware of
          C                                      Am
Will just pluck through your minds just one more task to take care of
              F                           G
Can something help fight against this old pathetic condition
           Am                               F
Where I am somehow defenceless just against words or a vision
            F                               G
If they are so big and smart why can't they start making stuff
         C                 G           Am
To fight feelings they are just little feelings
                  F                            G
Now that there is lasers and beams let's build amazing machines
         C                 G          Am
To fight feelings there is just a few feelings
  C         Am
A few lousy feelings
  C         Am
A few little feelings
  C         Am
A few stupid feelings
  C         Am
Why can't they fight feelings
F G C
