Passive Resistance Lyrics - Graham Parker

Pre> 

Capo at 2 c f c am c f am g 

C f am c f am g 

Nothing can be further removed, not everybody wants to be soothed ooooh 

D c am d g c 

They're out there now in their padded cells and armchairs 

Am d g 

Waiting for the nervous twitch that signals fear 

C f am c f am g 

Hooked up to a cardiogram set up so it cuts out when you cry or laugh 

D c am d g c 

Worked by those who if you screw up treat you to a broken nose 

Am d g 

If you tap your toes 

C g f 

Passive resistance! if it's not for them then it's not for you 

C g f 

Passive resistance! where the only view is the right view 

C g f g c f 

Passive resistance! and it breaks my heart to know there's no heart involved

Put the demographics away, the directors and consultants have the final say 

Hired in, take home all the ones who missed for souvenirs, for their kids to play 

Passive resistance! it's all programmed by programmers 

Passive resistance! you're just a nail underneath their hammers 

Passive resistance! and it breaks my heart to know there's no heart in them 

Instrumental verse 

Nothing can be further removed, not everybody wants to be soothed 

Oooh they must be real, people that you never meet and never feel 

And they don't feel you 

Photos 

Passive resistance! you get surveyed out of existence 

Passive resistance! just one in a million silent listeners 

Passive resistance! it's all programmed by programmers 

Passive resistance! you're just a nail underneath their hammers 

Passive resistance! and it breaks your heart 

To know there's no heart involved, involved, involved
