VERSE
Am
You've got emergency surgery and antibiotics
Am/B
Half your work done by a team of robotics
Am/F#
Still you've confessed
You're depressed
And distressed
and oppressed
What's the matter with you?
You can travel through the sky sitting down in a chair
Get a drink, eat a meal and there's wifi up there
But at the slightest delay
You complain
Like it's the end of the world
CHORUS
F Am
So why aren't you happy now?
F Am
Why aren't you in awe
Am/F# Am
You've been civilised to death
VERSE
You've got your mother in a home, kids at childcare
You're working 7 days a week just to keep them there
You've been promised all your free time
When you're retired
You're the pyre for the fire of incessant growth
Where any movement's advancement or progress or both
Youe’re like a falling man
Who insists he’s flying
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Am F
How much time still to put in?
Am/B Am/F#
Can't be long 'til you're retiring
F
Scratching on the walls until your time is up
G
One last sup at the poisoned cup
OUTRO
C
Take me back
Am
To the simple life
F
When we surrendered
G
To being alive
We lived by the ocean
And drank from the stream
In a world of abundance
Our lives were a dream
We had all we needed
Happy in our tribe
Surrounded by beauty
That you can't describe
The trees gave us everything
We worshipped the sun
Nature was all
And we were as one
