I have to say it ain't as cool as I hoped it would be
   A                  D
No man on the moon, nobody on Mars
A                    D
Where the hell is my flying car?
      G                   D                  A
Ain't nothing even like a teletransporter so far

It's hard times in the new millennium

Getting by on just the bare minimum
A                      D
Everything to lose and nothing to spare

Going to hell and nobody cares

A god-damn American utopian dream
G                                D                    A
If you believe that, then you're more optimistic than me


[Verse]

No love in a time of hysteria
A                              D
It's head for the hills, every man for himself
A                  D
Nobody helping out nobody else
G                      D                       A
Ain't the way that the Maharishi said it would be
