             E    F#m
We are not there yet
         E   F#m
We have not evolve
         E    F#m
We have no respect
         E       F#m
We have lost control
             E
We're going backwards
   B
Ignoring the realities
       G
Going backwards
         E
Are you counting all the casualties?

We are not there yet
Where we need to be
We are still in debt
To our insanities
We're going backwards
Turning back our history
Going backwards
Piling on the misery

Chorus:
        Bm
We can track it on the satellites
 D
See all in plain sight
      F#m         E
Watch men die in real time
             D
But we have nothing inside
        Bm
We feel nothing inside
   F#m E
Uh huh

We are not there yet
We have lost our soul
The course has been set
We're digging our own hole
We're going backwards
Armed with new technology
Going backwards
To a caveman mentality

Chorus:
We can emulate on consoles
Killings we can control
With senses that have been dulled
Because there's nothing inside
We feel nothing inside

        F#m
We feel nothing inside
         E       F#m          E
We feel nothing, nothing inside
        F#m
We feel nothing inside
         E        F#m          E
We feel nothing, nothing inside

We feel nothing inside
(We feel nothing, nothing inside)
We feel nothing inside
(We feel nothing, nothing inside)
We feel nothing inside
(We feel nothing, nothing inside)
Because there's nothing inside
Because there's nothing inside
