Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging [Live] chords by Genesis

(G major) When all this revolution is over, he sits down on a highly polished floor while his dizziness fades (A minor) away. It is an empty modern hallway and (G major) (A minor) the dreamdoll saleslady sits at the recep (G major) tion desk. Without prompting she goes into her rap: "This is the Grand (C major) Parade of Lifeless Packaging, those you are about to see are all (G major) in for servicing, except for a small quantity of our new product,

in the (C major) second gallery. It is all the stock re (G major) quired to cover the existing arrangements of the enterprise. (C major) Different batches are distributed to area operat (G major) ors, and there are plenty of opportunities for the large investor. (C major) They stretch from the costly care-conditioned to to (B flat major) the most reasonable mal-nutritioned. We find here (F major) that everyone's looks become them. Ex (B flat major) cept for the low market mal-nutritioned, each is provided (F major) with a guarantee for a successful birth and trouble free infancy. There is however (B flat major) only a small amount of variable (F major) choice potential - not too far from the mean differential. You see, the (B flat major) roof has predetermined the limits of ac

tion of any group of pack (F major) ages, but individuals may move (B flat major) off the path

if their diversion (D major) s are counter-balanced by by others."

"It's the last great adventure left to mankind"

(C major) - Screams a drooping lady

(D major) offering her dream dolls at less

than extortionate prices,

and as (C major) the notes and coins are

(D major) taken out

I'm taken in, to the factory floor.

for the Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging

(B flat major) - All ready to use

the (D major) Grand Parade of Lifeless

Packaging

- I just (C major) need a fuse.

Got (G major) people stocked

in (C major) every shade,

(G major) Must be doing well (C major) with trade.

(G major) Stamped, addressed, in (C major) odd fatality.

That (G major) evens out their (C major) personality.

With (B flat major) profit potential marked by a sign,

(F major) I can (B flat major) recognize some of the production line,

(F major) No (B flat major) bite at all in (F major) labor bondage,

Just (B flat major) wrinkled wrappers or

human bandage.

(D major) Grand Parade

of Lifeless Packaging

(C major) - All ready to use

it's the Grand (D major) Parade

of Lifeless Packaging

- I just need a fuse.

As he wanders along the line of packages, Rael notices a familiarity in some of their faces. (D major) He finally comes upon some of the members of (D minor) his old gang and worries about (D major) his own safety. Running out through the factory floor,

he catches sight of his (D minor) brother John with a number (G major) 9 stamped on his forehead.

The hall runs like clockwork (G major)

(A minor) Their hands (G major) mark out

the (A minor) (G major) time;

Empty in their fullness

(A minor) Like a frozen (G major) pantomime. (A minor)

(B flat major) Everyone's a sales representative (F major)

(B flat major) Wearing slogans in (F major) their shrine. (B flat major)

Dishing out fail safe (F major) superlative,

(B flat major) Brother John is No. 9.

(G major) The

decor on the ceil (D major) ing

has planned (G major) out their future day (C major) (A minor)

so I guess (G major) I have to pay,

(C major) pay my (B flat major) way,
