A D A
it's a slippery, slippery slope
C D A

For a long time we've been slippin'
A D A
Abandon ye all hope

G D
Because we've reach the point of tippin'


C#m D
We've reached the point where the news comes out
F#m E

That the NSA is listening
C#m D
It's not tin foil conjecture now

F#m E
Our president admits it
C#m D

Our president's dismissive

F#m E

As if the world didn't just change
D A
As if everything is all right

As if things aren't being done in my name
That keep me up all night


Scandals come and go
Our attention span demands it
But this one's different, you know

So let's do our best to withstand it

The blinking lights and pregnant teens

The distractions that come tumbling
Your government is listening
Let's let them hear a rumbling

This is no time to be fumbling

Everything has just changed

The case is closed and air tight
I'm slowly being driven insane
And it keeps me up all night


F
Every single email

G
And every text message
F

Stored in a database
E
In the side of a mountain

F
I've seen that in the movies
G

And it never ends well
D
Don't you think it sounds like

E
A comic book super villain


Do you hide yourself away
If some bureaucrat is listening
Does it limit what you say

Do you just disconnect v

We've reached the point where the news comes out

That the NSA is listening
It's not tin foil conjecture now
Our president admits it

Our president's dismissive

As if the world didn't just change

As if everything is all right
As if things aren't being done in my name
That keep me up all night
