G#m
Under the weight of a broken nose
E
It's not that simple but he won't seem to notice
C#7
There must be more to this
G#m
So leave those sink states and
E
Let's book a holiday
We're painting all the counties in blue
C#7
'Cause we're already boring
And we're already hoarding
What else have we got left to accrue?

G#m
And the ramblers will say:
E
"It's got a marvellous view"
C#
But we don't know how many lives it took, no
C#m
They'll never know what you knew

Chorus:
G#m7
And we're so calm but we're
(fucking scared, fucking scared)
G#m7
And we're so calm but we're
(fucking scared, fucking scared)
G#m7
And we're so calm but we're
(fucking scared, fucking scared)
G#m7
And we're so calm but we're
fucking scared of people like you

Under the weight of some Sertraline
A couple Prozacs, and now I'm pumping dopamine!
There must be more to this
We've got a country house now,
old dog has been put down now
It's nice to be around trees
Custom license plate on our Audi R8
How many grocers does one county need?

Chorus:
And the ramblers will say
"It's still a marvellous view!"
But that treadmill still looms
With your hedonic misuse

So come on, one and all and see the apathy!
The reams of grey stencils that fill the tapestry
I look to all of you and see
a different fucking species!
Aspiration for a different destination to me
Across the Pennines, there's a thin blue line,
a knife and a mall
I would do something, if it wasn't
all so effortful
'Cause I'm so high, my brain
can't even look at the fall
And when you've reached the top,
there's nowhere else to go but...
