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
