     Dm
I'll never take part in
      A#
the growing population
    F
Or waste my time with
C
further education
   Dm
Forget what we know
     A#
It's just a big show
 F                 C
What they want to control
    Dm         A#
So jaded, frustrated
    F       C
Its all so complicated
Dm         A#
Fashion no passion
    F
surrounds me

Chorus:
Gm
All I know is
Dm
I've heard this
      A#
all before
             F
Reality's a bore
                 C
You ask me to believe
    A#
in something fake
     Dm                   A#
Well I can't bring myself to
                     F
Do what you want me to
                C
This is who we are and
A#               Dm   A#
Nothing's gonna change
F C              Dm   A# F C
Nothing's gonna change

I can't take part in the businessman illusion
I'll take my chance in the real world confusion
Don't blame us, who do we trust
When they're so dishonest
No patience, this nation's
obsessed with exploitation
Lying denying surrounds me

Chorus:
All I know is I've heard this
all before, reality's a bore
You ask me to believe in something fake
Well I, can't bring myself to
do what you want me to
This is who we are and nothing's
going to change

Dm
Don't think you
can ignore us
F
Don't tell me that
Em
we're to blame
Dm
Don't pick our
       A#
future for us
   F
Or act like we're
the same

Chorus:
All I know is I've heard this
all before, reality's a bore
You ask me to believe in something fake
Well I, can't bring myself to
do what you want me to
This is who we are and nothing's
going to change

Thanks for nothing
(I've heard this all before)
Thanks for nothing
(reality's a bore)
Thanks for nothing
(i'll never be the same)
Thanks for nothing
(and nothing's gonna change)
