Interlude 1

Verse 6
D D 
 
There's a chance that we
C C 
 
would still get the picture
D D 
 
C C 
 
If reality just came up and bit ya
D D 
 
But the news team would never
C C 
 
report it
D D 
 
Because there's too
C C 
 
much evidence to support it
D D 
 
If we were stupider,
C C 
 
the problem would vanish
G G 
 
D D 
 
But our brains are much
C C 
 
more than we can manage
G G 
 
D D 
 
We say we want something
C C 
 
so bad we can taste it
D D 
 
But once we get it, then
C C 
 
we turn 'round and waste it
D D 
 
C C 
 
We got a twisted fixation with marketplace
D D 
 
And every suffering soul is just
C C 
 
an other face
D D 
 
We think we're being manipulated
C C 
 
from outer space
D D 
 
It's the collective guilty
C C 
 
conscience of the human race
D D 
 
We get joyful when we look
C C 
 
upon a lesser man
D D 
 
A specimen that we can be sure that
C C 
 
we are better than
D D 
 
There is no shortage of supply
C C 
 
of pride and vanity
D D 
 
There is no other explanation
C C 
 
D D 
 
but insanity
C C 
 
You're listening

Verse 7

to prozac

While the message goes unheard

It's the final word
