[Verse 1]
      D
We're ready to go
Ticking like a bomb
        A
that's about to blow
     D
It's taking control
Pulling at your feet
        A
like an undertow
    F
You don't really know
                   A
If you're all that capable
    F
But you've been told


[Refrain 1]
          G  F         G
Figure it out Don't pretend
             G F        G  G F
you're stupid   Sort it out
        G              G F
Go make yourself useful


[Verse 2]
       D
You're better than dead
You really made a mess
         A
with the words you said
   D
So easily fed The flames
                  A
of the fire rise above
               F
your head They want to
be led You've joined
    A
the ranks instead There's
  F
a voice in your head


[Refrain 2]
          G  F         G
Figure it out Don't pretend
             G F        G  G F

        G              G F
Go make yourself useful


[Chorus 1]
C                   G
  I can't figure it out
    Em
Any more than the
    F
generation before me
C                   G
  I can't figure it out
       Em
How we got where
         F
we are today
C                   G
  I can't figure it out
    Em
Any more than the
    F
generation before me
C                   G
  I can't figure it out
             Em
We've got to fight
             F
not to fade away
