hooray for the 21st centuary
AmGmDmE
Every sweet little lie ever whispered to you now rings true
AmGmDmE
No need to wake the seeping dogs, they just turn on you
AmGmDmE
i'll make my way instead to the foot of your ivory tower,
AmGmDmE
but no love do i find there, amongst the thorns and the dying flowers
AmGFE
what became of the love we knew,
AmGFE
we beat the swine black and blue,
AmGFE
you and i, me and you,
AmGFE
beat the swine black and blue,
AmGmDmE
the thames and the mersey, the tyne and the wear and the crige,
AmGmDmE
they spew slums like gravy on the banks of the poisonious tide,
AmGmDmE
they washed up a pale thin girl alone in her ivory tower
AmGmDmE
scratching her skin on the thorn and the stems of the dying flower
AmGFE
what became of the love we knew,
AmGFE
we beat the swine black and blue,
AmGFE
you and i, me and you,
AmGFE
beat the swine black and blue,
AmGFE
what became of the working class
AmGFE
nike and reebok, adidas
AmGFE
scratchcards, pimpes and ecstasy
AmGFE
hooray for the 21st century
