Am D
Someone sells us toys in a cheap cartoon
Dm E D
Someone sells us cars in the latest Bond that's coming soon
Am D
Someone sells us trends through a sitcom star
Dm E D
Someone sells herself in a docu-soap that goes too far
C#m
Life on sale!
(Am D Dm E D…)
("Could someone please just tell me what happened? I mean, first we paid for fast-
food that will make us all fat and tired. So then we pay for elevators, so we
won't have to climb the 3 stairs up to our apartments. Then we buy freaking
stairmaster machines so we can burn away while watching someone make real food on
TV. Now if that doesn't make us winners, I don't know what will. I bet we would
hang ourselves if the world would just cut us a slack. And now you think maybe you
should see a shrink, help (me) feel alive again, yeah, that's a plan! Just tell us who to pay.")
Am D
Someone sells us man in a White House speech
Dm
Then woman tightly pressed between two
E D
bouncing breasts, on a Baywatch beach
Am D
Someone sells us us everywhere I turn
Dm E D
Then introducing them to earn stock-points on our concern
C#m D
All for sale, all for sale
C#m D
It's all for sale, all for sale
Am
Welcome down to planet Earth
Em
Please don't ask us what it's worth
F
You will notice that the world you found
Dm C G
Is slightly tattered and worn down
Am
Someone sold us every stain
Em
Now if you wish to complain
F
There's an open spot at 6 PM
Dm C G
It's when Caucasia is listening
Am
If you're tearing down my world
C Dm
Please just try to do it gently
Am
If you're tearing down my world
C Dm
Please just try to do it gently
There is love inside
Am
For a dream that has to die
(Am D Dm E D…)
("See, it's really all about time and choice. The fast food saves us enough time
to squeeze lunch in exactly when we want it. The elevators save us just a little
more, the stairmaster let us choose exactly when to walk the stairs. Time is so
important these days, it's becoming a fucking disease, and I guess in a way it is
since it's bound to kill us all in the end.Now with all the time and money we
stashed away on others' expenses, I can only assume that the tickets to hell are
really expensive. For some reason, it's important to be first in line.")
Someone sells us god in 2-for-1 with shame
Someone sells us war and the marketing, looks just the same
Someone sells us fear on TV each day
A shape for every taste; if the flavor’s right, we gladly pay
All on sale, all on sale
We're all on sale, all on sale
Welcome to the only Earth
Please enjoy your only birth
You will learn to take more than you give
Buying scars you must live with
Someone sold us every scar
They somehow made us what we are
We all long that spot at 6 pm
But no one is really listening
(Am Em F Dm C G…)
No, no
Not anymore
We're all too busy buying sex, buying war
Buying self-confidence, security, insurance plans
Just buying forever
(Am C Dm …)
As you're tearing down our world
Please just try to do it gently
There's still love inside
As you're tearing down our world
Please just try to do it gently
There's still love inside
For the dream that has to die
