-verse-
C#m7 F#7
Finally science screamed and someone answered the call
A E7
To think we used to call it complex
C#m7 F#7
Painful reconstruction, but its worth it all
A E7
Imagining what is sure to connect
C#m7 F#7
And it’s too late to tell we’ve been
C#m7 F#7
Plugged in and wished well
C#m7 F#7
Said televisions going to spread the truth
C7 D7
We might need reassurance but we won’t need proof

-CHORUS-
C#m7 F#7
And I hope somebody’s keeping track these days
A E7
As we heat up like a microwave
C#m7 F#7
We’ve got to maintain enough fossil fuels
A E7
So we can burn it later trying to keep our cool
C#m7 F#7
Said I’m still living in a modern age
A E7
When I’m getting caught up in my primal rage
C#m7 F#7
So I keep working just to waste my time
C7 D7
Pretty soon it won’t matter in a modern age

-verse 2-
C#m7 F#7
Think of what is missing that we get to invent
A E7
Look how fast we’re progressing so far
C#m7 F#7
How did we every get by before data was sent
A E7
I can’t believe I got around without electrical cars
C#m7 F#7
And now its disgusting, depressed
C#m7 F#7
Got broadband and highband
C#m7 F#7
Said internets going to settle the score
C7 D7
We might lose motor skills but we won’t get bored

Chorus*

-Bridge-
A7      
If I am still alive
C7
When no one has survived
F#7
I’m hoping every shot
C#7+  
And what I haven’t got
C#m7 F#7 A E7
Lord no, no, no, no, no
C#m7 F#7 C7 D7
Soody-doody-do-wap-do-wap-do-wap

Chorus
