Bbm         F# 
black vinyl man with black plasticised imagination 
i got political inclinations to announce 
my soul shows art to me, but dollars says my radio 

G#m  Ebm 
more fodder for the new lost generation 
but no way, if it doesn't scan with your accounts 
wall street liquid lunches showing us the way to go 

C#m     F# 
i got a question to send you to the nearest closet 
i got some spiritual ideology for you 
why tolerate this numismatical polity? 

G#  Ebm 
why can't you let us do it like JONI does it 
i know it's gotta correspond with the corporation view   {Chorus} 
there isn't any other way, there isn't any other way, more's the pity {Chorus} 

          F# 
there you go again, giving it your very best, youâ??re 
C#m       Ebm 
trying so hard to make it sound like all the rest 
C#                F# 
and as your factory sanctifies your wooden soul 
    G#                              Ebm 
you gave us T.V. dinners, now it's T.V. rock 'n' roll 

Chorus 1:

      F# 
 we're growing up

middle 8 or something 

        G              E 
you can find it in the streets

you can find it in the elevators 
        E                                   Am 
you can find it where the ladies wash their hands 
                              F                    
it emanates from little boxes on the wall and it'll
