        E  F#m  A

E          F#m            A          E
  Strip it away, till the colors are gray
            F#m        A         E
And every franchise is inches away
          F#m
Isn't it great?
         A          E
There's nowhere to walk
                      F#m
But the mall that's abandoned
      A            E     F#m   A
And just down the block (ahh)
          E   F#m  A
Isn't it great?

E                F#m      A        E
  The hooters is next to Jake's synagogue (na, na, na, na)
                 F#m            A          E
He goes there to pray and then wings after dark (la, la, la, la)
                 F#m       A           E
He picks up his pills and cries in the lot (la, la, la, la)
                   F#m      A          E    F#m  A
They built over somebody's mom-and-pop shop
           E  F#m  A
Isn't it great?

E         F#m        A
Ooh, step out to the yard
                 E
Of trucks and sedans
             F#m        A     E
All driving fast on occupied land
                      F#m         A          E
One day, some drunk driver will crash in my house
                    F#m          A           E  F#m  A
And the local news guy will say, isn't that sad?

          E  F#m  A
Isn't it sad?
                       E
The view's blocked by ads
                 F#m                    A
And all of the brands are crammed in a plaza
                                         E       F#m  A
Where everything's right in the palm of our hands
(E  F#m  A)
E                   F#m     A          E
  My friends moved away to different states
             F#m            A           E
To chase the illusion that there's an escape
                   F#m           A              E
The gas station's cold, and it smells of black mold
                F#m      A                E
I'm pumping in petrol we got through the war

            F#m     A             E
Nowhere is safe and everything's fine
                   F#m        A            E
There's no better option but lay down and die
           F#m
I'll buy a gun
      A         E
It's so convenient
     F#m       A
It's so convenient (ahh)
