well as distortion.

Has the light gone out for you?

Because the light’s gone for me

It is the 21st century

It is the [F/D]21st century

You can fight it like a dog

And they brought me to my knees

They got scared and they put me in

They got s[F/D]cared and they put me in

All the lies run around my face

All the lies run around my face

And for anybody else to see

And for a[F/D]nybody else to see

I’m alive…
