[Verse 1]
E               B
No songs on the stereo
A                     B
That we can sing with anymore
E             B
No dance that I can do
A              B
That would not embarrass you
E           B
A soundbyte here and there
A                  B
With no reason for me to care

[Chorus]
          E        B
It's just beige to beige
A             B
That's all it is these days
E                  B
Little windows for you to crawl thru
A                    B
You just do what's expected of you
          E        B        A           E     B
It's just beige to beige to beige these days

[Verse 2]
E               B
Uniforms for this and that
A                     B
To be in our club you must wear this hat
E                  B
Charlie gonna look out for you
A                  B
You just do what you supposed to do
E                   B
You're gonna fit in here just like you should
A                   B
Learn the rules and learn them good

[Chorus]
          E        B
It's just beige to beige
A             B
That's all it is these days yeah
E                  B
Little windows for you to crawl thru
A                      B
And Charlie gonna take care of you
          E        B        A           E     B
It's just beige to beige to beige these days

[Verse 3]
E                           B
If you need a thought we'll give it to you
A                     B
Our statistics show what we do is true
E                          B
A world without color is a world without sound
A                   B
A world to keep the rabble down
E                 B
So close the deal close the door
A                          B
Forget the colors that you knew before

[Chorus]
          E        B
It's just beige to beige
A             B
That's all it is these days yeah
E                  B
Little windows for you to crawl thru
A                      B
And Charlie gonna take care of you
          E        B        A           E     B
It's just beige to beige to beige these days
