Am                         D
Someone sells us toys in a cheap cartoon
Dm                           E                  D
Someone sells us cars in the latest Bond that's coming soon
Am                                D
Someone sells us trends through a sitcom star
Dm                         E              D
Someone sells herself in a docu-soap that goes too far
C#m
Life on sale!

(Am D Dm E D…)
("Could someone please just tell me what happened? I mean, first we paid for fast-
food that will make us all fat and tired. So then we pay for elevators, so we 
won't have to climb the 3 stairs up to our apartments. Then we buy freaking 
stairmaster machines so we can burn away while watching someone make real food on 
TV. Now if that doesn't make us winners, I don't know what will. I bet we would 
hang ourselves if the world would just cut us a slack. And now you think maybe you 
should see a shrink, help (me) feel alive again, yeah, that's a plan! Just tell us who to pay.")

Am                        D
Someone sells us man in a White House speech
Dm                                                                          
Then woman tightly pressed between two 
E                      D
bouncing breasts, on a Baywatch beach
Am                       D
Someone sells us us everywhere I turn
Dm                            E                    D
Then introducing them to earn stock-points on our concern
C#m           D
All for sale, all for sale
C#m                D
It's all for sale, all for sale

Am                      
Welcome down to planet Earth
             Em
Please don't ask us what it's worth
         F
You will notice that the world you found
   Dm                   C      G
Is slightly tattered and worn down

Am            
Someone sold us every stain
       Em
Now if you wish to complain
           F
There's an open spot at 6 PM
      Dm              C     G
It's when Caucasia is listening

Am                      
If you're tearing down my world
C                        Dm
Please just try to do it gently
Am
If you're tearing down my world
C                        Dm
Please just try to do it gently

There is love inside
                        Am
For a dream that has to die


(Am D Dm E D…)
("See, it's really all about time and choice. The fast food saves us enough time 
to squeeze lunch in exactly when we want it. The elevators save us just a little 
more, the stairmaster let us choose exactly when to walk the stairs. Time is so 
important these days, it's becoming a fucking disease, and I guess in a way it is 
since it's bound to kill us all in the end.Now with all the time and money we 
stashed away on others' expenses, I can only assume that the tickets to hell are 
really expensive. For some reason, it's important to be first in line.")

Am                            D
Someone sells us god in 2-for-1 with shame
Dm                            E                D
Someone sells us war and the marketing, looks just the same
Am                          D
Someone sells us fear on TV each day
Dm                                E                  D
A shape for every taste; if the flavor’s right, we gladly pay
C#m           D
All on sale, all on sale
C#m                 D
We're all on sale, all on sale

Am
Welcome to the only Earth
         Em
Please enjoy your only birth
          F
You will learn to take more than you give
 Dm                    C    G
Buying scars you must live with
Am
Someone sold us every scar
              Em
They somehow made us what we are
        F
We all long that spot at 6 pm
    Dm                C    G
But no one is really listening

Am
No, no
Em
Not anymore
                   F
We're all too busy buying sex, buying war
             Dm             C          G
Buying self-confidence, security, insurance plans
Am
Just buying forever

Am
As you're tearing down our world
C                        Dm
Please just try to do it gently

There's still love inside

Am
As you're tearing down our world
C                        Dm
Please just try to do it gently

There's still love inside
                         Am
For the dream that has to die
