[Verse 1]
        Bb        F
Now the angry old men
           C           Dm
Say it was better back when
           Bb           F      C
We used to Keep the Aspidistra Flying
       Bb         F
Now it may be the case
        C                Dm
That we can't change our fate
            Bb        F       C
but there's surely no harm in trying

[Chorus]
    Gm                         Bb
And ten mysterious photos that can't be explained
    F                 C
Are draining away the best of my day
    Gm                      Bb
And fragments of songs that I never wrote
    F                            C
Are rotting in the pockets of my winter coat

[Verse 2]
        Bb         F        C         Dm
Now the world wide web is a wonderful thing
              Bb              F          C
You're just a click away from all of the facts
              Bb        F          C       Dm
But there's a downside if you've a curious mind
          Bb         F    C
It's like heroin for auto-didacts

[Chorus]
    Gm                         Bb
But ten mysterious photos that can't be explained
    F                 C
Are draining away the best of my day
    Gm                      Bb
And fragments of songs that I never wrote
    F                            C
Are rotting in the pockets of my winter coat

[Bridge 1]
Dm
I've been down rabbit holes
G
I've seen the rabid trolls
Bb
Cackling in the twilight
       F      C
Of the Age of Reason
Dm
One thing I've noticed
G
As I get older
Bb
Common sense, like art
                     C
Is in the eye of the beholder

[Verse 3]
        Bb           F
Now the new breed of know-nothings
    C           Dm
Are flooding my screen
         Bb                   F         C
Now they scare me, they're so goddamn sure
               Bb         F
They look like reasonable folks
        C              Dm
But the next thing you know
           Bb                 F            C
Is they're screaming "I don't want your cure!"

[Chorus]
    Gm                         Bb
And ten mysterious photos that can't be explained
    F                 C
Are draining away the best of my day
    Gm                      Bb
And fragments of songs that I never wrote
    F                            C
Are rotting in the pockets of my winter coat

[Bridge 2]
Dm
The conspiracy acts
G
The cyberchondriacs
Bb                             F        C
Gripped by their fear of their own imagination
Dm
They switched the filters off
G
Too much is not enough
Bb                                C
You know that you can overdose on information

    Gm                         Bb
Ten mysterious photos that can't be explained
    F                 C
Are draining away the best of my day
    Gm                      Bb
And fragments of songs that I never wrote
    F                            C
Are rotting in the pockets of my winter coat
