[Verse 1]
Cm
The lights went out (the last fuse blew)
Cm
The clocks all stopped (it can't be true)
Cm
The program's wrong (what can we do?)
Cm
The printout's blocked (it relied on you)
Cm Gm F
The turbines cracked up
Cm Gm F
The buildings froze up
Cm Gm F
The system choked up
Cm Gm F
What can we do?
[Pre-Chorus]
Eb F
Please remember to mention me
Bb Db Ab
in tapes you leave behind
[Chorus]

We stood still
Cm
We all stood still
Cm
Still stood still

We're standing still

[Verse 2]
Cm
The screen shut down (there's no reply)
Cm
The lifts all fall (a siren cries)
Cm
And the radar fades (a pilot sighs)
Cm
As the countdowns stall (the readout lies)
Cm Gm F
The turbines cracked up
Cm Gm F
The buildings froze up
Cm Gm F
The system choked up
Cm Gm F
What can we do?

The black box failed (The codes got crossed).
Cm
and the jails decayed (The keys got lost).
Cm
Everyone kissed (We breathe exhaust).
Cm
in the new arcade (Of the holocaust).
