Chords and lyrics for 225 by New Model Army (key of Am).

Intro

[Am] [G]
[D]

Verse 1

She [D]stares at the screen
At the little words of green
Tries to [Am]remember [G]what to do [D]next
[D]There's a trace of frustration
That crosses her face
[Am]Searching for the [G]keys she should [D]press

Chorus 1

[F]And I would help her
If I [D]only know how
But these [C]things are a mystery to me [F]too
And it [D]seems that the [G]corporate
[Am]Eyes they are [G]watching
She [D]fears for her [G]job
And the [Am]moments are [G]passing
I [D]stare at her [G]nametag
And [Am]think to [G]myself
Both you and [D]I, we never [C]asked
For any[D] of this

Verse 2

So let's take a [D]walk
Up past the chemical works
Where the [Am]sky [G]turns green at [D]night
And we'll [D]talk about
Bout getting away from here
Some [Am]different [G]kind of [D]life

Chorus 2

But [F]even in the freshest [D]mountain air
While the [C]jet fighters practice [F]overhead
And they're [D]drilling these [G]hills
For [Am]uranium [G]deposits
And they'll [D]bury the [G]waste
For our [Am]children to [G]inherit
And [D]though this is [G]all done
For [Am]our own [G]benefit, I [D]swear
We never [C]asked for [D]any of this

Verse 3

Well, this golden [D]age of communication
Means everyone [Am]talks [G]at the same [D]time
And [D]liberty just means
Some freedom to exploit
Any [Am]weakness [G]that you can [D]find

Chorus 3

We'll [F]turn off the TV [D]just for a while
Let us [C]whisper to each other [F]instead
And we'll [D]hope that the [G]corporate [Am]ears
Do not [G]listen
[D]Unless we find [G]ourselves [Am]committing
Some kind of [G]treason
And [D]filed in the [G]tapes
Without [Am]rhyme, without [G]reason
While they [D]tell us that it's [G]all
For our [Am]own [G]protection, I [D]swear
We never [C]asked for [D]any of this...
Oh I [D]swear, we never [C]asked, for [D]any of this...
Oh I [D]swear, we never [C]asked, for [D]any of this...
Oh I [D]swear...[D][C]
