CAPO: 4

Intro: F

verse 1

Is this what we really want
Am
Background music from a restaurant?
D                               C  C7  F
Spare me, it's doing in my head

Drop-dead gorgeous teen
Am
Singing pages from her diary
D                                 C  C7  G
So bad, you'd kick her out of bed

                            F
Break down the stupid wall

Stop doing what you're told
C                                 G
And don't believe a thing you see
                           F
Red light, drop that ball

Stop getting everything you want
C                                G   F
And get a piece of what you need


verse 2

Life on the happy pills
Am
Counts on Pfizer to erase our ills
     D                                 C  C7  F
It's working, I'm feeling pretty blank

So sing, sing, soulless boy
Am
Give us more of your simple joy
     D                           C  C7 G
It's soothing, money in the bank


                            F
Break down the stupid wall

Stop doing what you're told
C                                 G
And don't believe a thing you see
                           F
Red light, drop that ball

Stop getting everything you want
C                                G   D
And get a piece of what you need


Bridge

Oh, say can't you see
      C
We're kinda, sorta living free
Eb           D
Staring into space
Eb             D
Bye, bye human race


Instrumental: F  Am  D  C  F  Am  D  C  G


                            F
Break down the stupid wall

Stop doing what we're told
C                                 G
And don't believe a thing you see
                           F
Red light, drop that ball

Stop getting everything we want
C                                G
And get a piece of what you need
