[Verse 1]
Emaj7 C#m
I think we must have all gone mad
G#m
We're being right turned over
Emaj7 C#m
They promised us the Earth
G#m
Instead, we've got The Great Depression
Emaj7 C#m
Now, you're free and easy with the flays,
G#m
You bring your brothers and sisters
Emaj7 C#m
"I'm alright, Jack, so sod the rest,"
G#m
Is the new dissension
 
[Pre-Chorus]
A B
Into the abyss
A G#
Backwards and forwards, it's always down
C#m
It's a desperate war
F#m
You're trying to climb yourself out
A B C
You don't care who you stab or stoop to help them o-out
 
[Chorus]
F Dm Am
Hey, hey, hey - well, that's not the way
F Dm Am
Hey, hey, hey - well, that's not the way
Bb F Eb C*
Hey, hey, hey
 
[Verse 2]
Emaj7 C#m
No sense or reason in your fussing and fighting
G#m
And your violent obsession
Emaj7 C#m
Who's ever really left feeling fine
G#m
After The Great Depression?
Emaj7 C#m
No sense of purpose in the competition,
G#m
Keeping up with the Joneses
Emaj7 C#m
You buy a house, you buy a car
G#m
You buy a marriage and a bed of roses
 
[Pre-Chorus]
A B
Into the abyss
A G#
Backwards and forwards, it's always down
C#m
It's a desperate war
F#m
You're trying to climb yourself out
A B C
You don't care who you stab or stoop to help them o-out
 
[Chorus]
F Dm Am
Hey, hey, hey - well, that's not the way
F Dm Am
Hey, hey, hey - well, that's not the way
Bb F Eb C*
Hey, hey, hey
 
[Outro]
Emaj7 C#m
No sense or reason in your fussing and fighting
G#m
And your violent obsession
Emaj7 C#m
Who's ever really left feeling fine
G#m
After The Great Depression?
Emaj7 C#m G#m
Hey, hey, hey - well, that's not the way
 
Emaj7 C#m
No sense or reason in your fussing and fighting
G#m
And your violent obsession
Emaj7 C#m
Who's ever really left feeling fine
G#m
After The Great Depression?
Emaj7 C#m G#m
Hey, hey, hey - well, that's not the way
 
Emaj7 C#m
No sense or reason in your fussing and fighting
G#m
And your violent obsession
Emaj7 C#m
Who's ever really left feeling fine
G#m
After The Great Depression?
Emaj7 C#m G#m
Hey, hey, hey - well, that's not the way
