Lyrics

Another one I find easier to play with
Capo at 2. chords mapped out as if they were open

The people look up with nothing in their eyeballs
A d a d
They stare at billboards as if for guidance
A d a d
There's something wrong here I can't but my finger on

E a d a
Same thing same way everyday stupefaction oh yeah

A d a d
Drive out on sunset but nothing's moving
A d a d
The lights are green or is that my imagination
A d a d
The people sit there cameras without action
A d a d
I can't see the point but I see the attraction

E a d a
Same thing same way everyday stupefaction oh yeah
