B                                     E
Can you hear the sound of the static noise?
                 F#
Blasting out in stereo
 B                              E
Cater to the class and the paranoid
             F#
Music to my nervous system
B                         E
advertising love and religion
              F#
Murder on the airwaves
B                              E
Slogans on the brink of corruption

           F#      E F#         E
Vision of blasphemy   war and peace
F#
oh Screaming at you

Chorus:
B                 E           F#
  I can't see a thing in the video
B                 E            F#
  I can't hear a sound on the radio
B           E       F#    B  F#
  In stereo in the static age

Billboard on the rise in the dawn's landscape
Working your insanity
Tragic à la madness and concrete
Coca Cola execution
Conscience on a cross and your heart's in a vise
Squeezing out your state of mind
Are what you own that you cannot buy

What a fucking tragedy, strategy
Oh-oh, screaming at you

Chorus:
I can't see a thing in the video
I can't hear a sound on the radio
In stereo in the static age
I can't see a thing in the video
I can't hear a sound on the radio
In stereo in the static age

 E
Hey, hey it's the static age
         B
This is how the West was won
 E                                  F# G
Hey, hey it's the static age millennium

All I want to know is a god-damned thing
Not what's in the medicine
All I want to do is I want to breathe
Batteries are not included
What's the latest way that a man can die?
Screaming "Hallelujah" (Hallelujah)
Singing out "the dawn's early light"

The silence of the rotten, forgotten
Oh-oh, screaming at you

Chorus:
I can't see a thing in the video
I can't hear a sound on the radio
In stereo in the static age
I can't see a thing in the video
I can't hear a sound on the radio
In stereo in the static age
I can't see a thing in the video (Woah-oh)
I can't hear a sound on the radio (Woah-oh)
In stereo in the static age
I can't see a thing in the video (Woah-oh)
I can't hear a sound on the radio (Woah-oh)
In stereo in the static age

          A# C D
The static age
