Verse 1:
             F#m               A
Wish we knew then what we know now
           F#m              E
then maybe we wouldn't have burned
                F#m               A
through all the oil  cut down the trees 
             E                F#m
poisoned the soil  killed everything

Verse 2:
             F#m              A
and this lifestyle is mass produced
           F#m         E
a plastic smile shrink-wrapped for you
           F#m           A
and it was made very far away
               E                    F#m
by young small hands earning cents a day

Verse 3:
          F#m                A
and toxic waste  it runs downstream
              F#m            E
but you don't care about the things that you cannot see 
            F#m            A
it's powered by our aching feet
             E                      F#m
the price of convenience will be our defeat

Chorus:
F#m      E        A         D    F#m
Where is your god now? Your holy machine.
    E              A                 F#m
Big Business never cared about you or me.
              E             A             D
Extinction is permanent and plastic never leaves.
      E
We've dug ourselves in deep.

Verse 5:
         F#m
When the topsoil is gone
                         A
and we've caught all the fish at sea
        F#m               E
they'll remember that you can't eat your money
                   F#m
but hey  it's just business  isn't it
      A                                       E
and I hope that they are proud of what we've become
                     F#m A D E
look at what they've done

F#m|A|D|E:

Bridge:
        F#m         A      D       E
I could wash the oil clean from my hands
    F#m         A          D       E
but still taste exhaust in my lungs
F#m          A   D
I  too  burn gasoline.
E   F#m        A    D     E
I am no better than anyone
    F#m                A           D         E
but life is bought and sold with a copyright stamp on it
F#m.              A.            D      E
while they debate the rights to my own uterus

F#m  A  D  E

Chorus:
F#m      E        A         D    F#m
Where is your god now? Your holy machine.
    E              A                 F#m
Big Business never cared about you or me.
              E             A             D
Extinction is permanent and plastic never leaves.
      E
We've dug ourselves in deep.

F#m
