Em               G                 D
I've seen those big machines come rolling
             A
through the quiet pines
Em              G                  D
Blue suits and bankers with their Volvos and
       A
their valentines
Em            G             D
Give us this day our daily discount outlet
 A
merchandise
Em          G             D              A
Raise up a multiplex and we will make a sacrifice
B                        A   B
Now we're gonna get the big business
B                        A     B
Now we're gonna get the real thing
B                  A      B
Everybody's all excited about it

Chorus:
C                     G
Who remembers when it all began
D            E
Out here in no man's land
C                       G
Before they passed the master plan
D            E
Out here in no man's land
C               G
Low supply and high demand
D                 Em
Here in no man's land

There ain't much work out here in our
consumer power base
No major industry, just miles and miles of
parking space
This morning's paper says our neighbor's
in a cocaine bust
Lots more to read about Lolita and suburban lust
Now we're gonna get the whole story
Now we're gonna be in prime time
Everybody's all excited about it

Chorus:
Who remembers when it all began
Out here in no man's land?
We've just begun to understand
Out here in no man's land
Low supply and high demand
Here in no man's land

I see these children with their boredom
and their vacant stares
God help us all if we're to blame for
their unanswered prayers
They roll the sidewalks up at night,
this place goes underground
Thanks to the condo kings there's cable
now in Zombietown
Now we're gonna get the closed circuit
Now we're gonna get the Top 40
Now we're gonna get the sports franchise
Now we're gonna get the major attractions

Chorus:
Who remembers when it all began
Out here in no man's land?
Before the whole world was in our hands
Out here in no man's land
Before the banners and the marching bands
Out here in no man's land
Low supply and high demand
Here in no man's land

Em      Dsus4 D     Em Dsus4 D Em
Here in No   Man's Land - x5
