[Intro]
A* A A* A G* G G/G#
[Verse 1]
A E D
I saw the best of my generation playing pinball
A E D E
Maked-up and caked-up and looking like some kind of china doll
A E F#m D E
With all of Adolf Hitler's moves down cold as they stood up in front of a rock and roll band
A E F#m D E
And always moving upward and ever upward to this gentle, golden promised land
A E
With the smartest of them all moonlighting as a word processor
F#m D A
And the strongest of them all checking IDs outside saloons
E F#m
And the prettiest of all taking off her clothes in front of men
D A D
Whose eyes look like they were in some little hick town near Omaha
A D E
Watching the police chief run his car off the side of a bridge
A E F#m D
And I saw a men with dreams like the ones I'd had beg quarters outside the 7-11
A D
Till it got so they didn't affect me anymore than the mailboxes I'd pass
A D E
'Cept that sometimes I'd put something in the mailbox
C#m D
I'd had the wind at my back, now I felt it cold in my face
A E F#m
And for an awful long time now you were the only one who ever called me late at night
D A
And I never really noticed till after you stopped calling
D D/C# E
And the emptiness and silence got so heavy
[Chorus]
A
Broken up in the wasteland
C#m
Broken up in the promised land
D
Broken up in Disneyland
E
Broken up in the plastic land
F#m
Broken up in the wasteland
D
Broken up in the wasteland
A* A A* G G/G#
Broken up in the wasteland
[Verse 2]
A E F#m D
And I saw dead Marilyn Monroe strung up on every street corner in Hollywood
A D
Like some two bit whore offering a discount rate
E
And I wondered how Joe Dimaggio felt
A E F#m D
And I saw dead James Dean's ghost wandering the sidewalk looking troubled
E
And I wondered how his mama felt
A E
I saw signs that said "Headshots done for cheap"
F#m D
Signs that said "Extras wanted, top dollars paid"
A D
And signs for haircuts and signs for manicures
A D
And signs for tanning salons and signs for wardrobe specialists
A D
Signs for cosmetic surgery and signs for assertiveness training
E
And I stopped to read them all
A E
And every single block looked like every single block
F#m D
Looked like every single block looked like every single block
A D
But you kept driving 'cause everyone else kept driving
A D E
And 'cause gridlock is evil and not knowing your way is evil
C#m
And those that had money looked good but weren't too happy
D
And those who didn't have money didn't look so good and weren't too happy either
A E F#m D
And in a city of three million two hundred and sixty nine thousand nine hundred eighty four
E
Every one was lonely
[Chorus]
A
Broken up in the wasteland
C#m
Broken up in the promised land
D
Broken up in Disneyland
E
Broken up in the plastic land
F#m
Broken up in the wasteland
D
Broken up in the wasteland
A* A A* G G/G#
Broken up in the wasteland
[Verse 3]
A E F#m D
And I watched as everyone I knew spent their lives
A E A
Trying to be watched on stage or watched on film or listened to on a record
D E
And they thought, "Well, maybe that way I could get a little love out of this life"
A E F#m D
And I watched as the best of my generation abandoned their dreams
E
And settled for making a little money
A E F#m D
I watched TV and read the papers, listened to the radio and made all the fancy scenes
A D
And said all the right words and wore all the right clothes
A E
And knew the names of the hip people but I still felt out of touch
F#m E D
So I stopped watching TV and reading the papers and listening to the radio
A D
And making the fancy scenes and saying the right words
A D
And wearing the right clothes and knowing the names of the hip people
E
And I felt more out of touch than ever, oh, but I didn't care anymore
C#m
And I felt you slipping away
D
And I felt myself slipping from you
A E F#m
And I wanted more than anything else for it to rain for one whole day like it used to
D A D
But all there ever was was sun, relentless sun, hot, beating sun
A D
And everyone wore their sunglasses and walked around like flies
C#m E
Under magnifying glass with their eyes removed
[Chorus]
A
Broken up in the wasteland
C#m
Broken up in the promised land
D
Broken up in Disneyland
E
Broken up in the plastic land
F#m
Broken up in the wasteland
D
Broken up in the wasteland
F#m
Broken up in the wasteland
D
Broken up in the wasteland
A* G
Broken up in the wasteland
[Outro]
A* G x3
