Bb F C
[Verse 1]
Bb F
Now the angry old men
C Dm
Say it was better back when
Bb F C
We used to Keep the Aspidistra Flying
Bb F
Now it may be the case
C Dm
That we can't change our fate
Bb F C
but there's surely no harm in trying
[Chorus]
Gm Bb
And ten mysterious photos that can't be explained
F C
Are draining away the best of my day
Gm Bb
And fragments of songs that I never wrote
F C
Are rotting in the pockets of my winter coat
[Verse 2]
Bb F C Dm
Now the world wide web is a wonderful thing
Bb F C
You're just a click away from all of the facts
Bb F C Dm
But there's a downside if you've a curious mind
Bb F C
It's like heroin for auto-didacts
[Chorus]
Gm Bb
But ten mysterious photos that can't be explained
F C
Are draining away the best of my day
Gm Bb
And fragments of songs that I never wrote
F C
Are rotting in the pockets of my winter coat
[Bridge 1]
Dm
I've been down rabbit holes
G
I've seen the rabid trolls
Bb
Cackling in the twilight
F C
Of the Age of Reason
Dm
One thing I've noticed
G
As I get older
Bb
Common sense, like art
C
Is in the eye of the beholder
[Verse 3]
Bb F
Now the new breed of know-nothings
C Dm
Are flooding my screen
Bb F C
Now they scare me, they're so goddamn sure
Bb F
They look like reasonable folks
C Dm
But the next thing you know
Bb F C
Is they're screaming "I don't want your cure!"
[Chorus]
Gm Bb
And ten mysterious photos that can't be explained
F C
Are draining away the best of my day
Gm Bb
And fragments of songs that I never wrote
F C
Are rotting in the pockets of my winter coat
[Bridge 2]
Dm
The conspiracy acts
G
The cyberchondriacs
Bb F C
Gripped by their fear of their own imagination
Dm
They switched the filters off
G
Too much is not enough
Bb C
You know that you can overdose on information
[Instrumental]
Bb F C Dm
Bb F C
[Chorus]
Gm Bb
Ten mysterious photos that can't be explained
F C
Are draining away the best of my day
Gm Bb
And fragments of songs that I never wrote
F C
Are rotting in the pockets of my winter coat
[Outro]
