In answer to the question about the groove this song is based on here

is a rough version. I'm not sure if it's right nor not. It's possibly I've made

it (the chorus especially) needlessly over-complicated. It's probably quite simple

for someone who can actually play a bit.

Out of the mud where chitinous bugs

Am Am Am Am Dus2 Dus2 Dus2 A9

[And so on for all the verses]





Now we're in the clouds working overtime for our pay

Countin' the numbers and being the bugs that eat each other today



Sitting in an office in a publishing house

Or in a big company working a computer clicking a mouse



Pulling up your file checking your sales

Meeting those quotas and accommodating voters that's the holy grail



CHORUS

In a glass tower uptown or downtown

She's workin' every hour runnin' through your contract writing your deficit down

She's downsizing everything including her brain
