[Verse]
B           F#          D
Here we are on, civilisation street
A                    B
Where the neighbours never meet
B               F#  D
And you have to be discreet
D     A     B
Don't ever talk to strangers
B    F#                  D       A B
Even when they offer you sweets
B               F#                    D
Keep your mouth shut, keep your mouth shut
D              A      B F# D
Keep your head down

[Verse]
B               F#     D
Here we are in, civilisation town
A                B
Where shops are closing down
B       F#     D
And the people rush around
A  B
No time to stop and talk
F#m     D              A
All the cops are going round
B               F#                    D
Keep your head down, keep your head down
D              A     B F# B
Keep your mouth shut

[Verse]
B               F#     D
Here we are in, civilisation city
A         B
Where the lights are oh so pretty
F#      D                   A
And the concrete smells of money
A          B                 F#
Laced with years of exploitation
F#      D
Got no job (aw)
A      B              F#    D A
Got no job, oh what a pity
B     A    F G A A F A
Uh uh oh

[Bridge]
G        A                        F         A
When the church is empty and the graveyard full
G         A             F     A
The skies are gray with chemicals
G                 D
And all the books lie in the dust
Bb      D       C
The televisions now rust
A                  F    A
Watch the people,
A      F          A
wither away
G     D        D C
Alone together,
A                  F
have a nice day,
A           G     A          F    A
have a nice day, have a nice day, have a nice day,

On civilisation street the jigsaw's incomplete
A                                B      F# D A B
We've got the whole world at our feet!
F#            D                      A               B
But we ruined all the good bits and cut down all the trees
B   F#               D     A                B
And dumped the radiation into the deep blue sea
F#                      D
And carved up someone’s landscape
D                A    B
Just to get from A to B
F#                           D
Just to move that little bit faster
A                B
Put our faith in luxury
B       F#                   D
Just to move that little bit closer
D       A       B    F#   D A B F# D A
To the world on your tv

B                       D
Any everyone needs more money, HA
A                      G
Cos nothing makes ends meet
B   F#
Cos time is money, time is money
F#                D
And I haven't any time
