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