Kick Them Down
View chords used in this chart
G
It seems wrong
G6
That I can talk to anyone I know
C Em/B Am
Anywhere, all the time
Am
I need to have thoughts
Am6 Cmaj7
And feelings that are only mine
G
They said the telephone
G6
Was destined
C Em/B Am
To ruin human relation
Am
They never could've dreamed of tracking devices
Am6 Cmaj7
And instant miscommunication
G
Now wherever I walk
G6
There's something incessantly
C Em/B Am
Beeping at me somewhere
Am
Either it's my phone
Am6 Cmaj7
Or an electric scooter owned by a billionaire
[Chorus]
G G6
I kick them down when I see them
C Em/B Am
How does anyone keep believing
Am6
This joke's not that bad?
B7 Cmaj7
Told by a coked-up Ivy grad
G
I hope we see that we've been had
[Verse 2]
G
I find myself
G6 C Em/B Am
2600 miles from my home
Am
I crossed so many states
Am6 Cmaj7
But still not far enough to be left alone
G
I feel unease
G6
At the rapid growth rate
C Em/B Am
Of my online footprint
Am
Maybe it's my fault
Am6 Cmaj7
But I don't remember signing up for any of this
G
I can't grasp
G6
The concept of a god
C Em/B Am
Who would sanction this nightmare reality
Am
They say my heart's hard but I've made it this far
Am6 Cmaj7
Without making a god of my morality
[Chorus]
G G6
I'll kick him down if I see him
C Em/B Am
How does my mother keep believing
Am6
These lies she's been told?
B7 Cmaj7
I hope she breaks free before she's too old
G
Let's break free before we're too old
[Verse 3]
G
I can't tell
G6
If I'm living in the moment
C Em/B Am
Or living on my phone
Am
I woke up from a dream
Am6 Cmaj7
And all I could remember was my passcode
