[Intro]
D#* D# D#* D# G* G G/D
[Verse 1]
D# A# G#
I saw the best of my generation playing pinball
D# A# G# A#
Maked-up and caked-up and looking like some kind of china doll
D# A# Cm G# A#
With all of Adolf Hitler's moves down cold as they stood up in front of a rock and roll band
D# A# Cm G# A#
And always moving upward and ever upward to this gentle, golden promised land
D# A#
With the smartest of them all moonlighting as a word processor
Cm G# D#
And the strongest of them all checking IDs outside saloons
A# Cm
And the prettiest of all taking off her clothes in front of men
G# D# G#
Whose eyes look like they were in some little hick town near Omaha
D# G# A#
Watching the police chief run his car off the side of a bridge
D# A# Cm G#
And I saw a men with dreams like the ones I'd had beg quarters outside the 7-11
D# G#
Till it got so they didn't affect me anymore than the mailboxes I'd pass
D# G# A#
'Cept that sometimes I'd put something in the mailbox
Gm G#
I'd had the wind at my back, now I felt it cold in my face
D# A# Cm
And for an awful long time now you were the only one who ever called me late at night
G# D#
And I never really noticed till after you stopped calling
G# G#/G A#
And the emptiness and silence got so heavy
[Chorus]
D#
Broken up in the wasteland
Gm
Broken up in the promised land
G#
Broken up in Disneyland
A#
Broken up in the plastic land
Cm
Broken up in the wasteland
G#
Broken up in the wasteland
D#* D# D#* G G/D
Broken up in the wasteland
[Verse 2]
D# A# Cm G#
And I saw dead Marilyn Monroe strung up on every street corner in Hollywood
D# G#
Like some two bit whore offering a discount rate
A#
And I wondered how Joe Dimaggio felt
D# A# Cm G#
And I saw dead James Dean's ghost wandering the sidewalk looking troubled
A#
And I wondered how his mama felt
D# A#
I saw signs that said "Headshots done for cheap"
Cm G#
Signs that said "Extras wanted, top dollars paid"
D# G#
And signs for haircuts and signs for manicures
D# G#
And signs for tanning salons and signs for wardrobe specialists
D# G#
Signs for cosmetic surgery and signs for assertiveness training
A#
And I stopped to read them all
D# A#
And every single block looked like every single block
Cm G#
Looked like every single block looked like every single block
D# G#
But you kept driving 'cause everyone else kept driving
D# G# A#
And 'cause gridlock is evil and not knowing your way is evil
Gm
And those that had money looked good but weren't too happy
G#
And those who didn't have money didn't look so good and weren't too happy either
D# A# Cm G#
And in a city of three million two hundred and sixty nine thousand nine hundred eighty four
A#
Every one was lonely
[Chorus]
D#
Broken up in the wasteland
Gm
Broken up in the promised land
G#
Broken up in Disneyland
A#
Broken up in the plastic land
Cm
Broken up in the wasteland
G#
Broken up in the wasteland
D#* D# D#* G G/D
Broken up in the wasteland
[Verse 3]
D# A# Cm G#
And I watched as everyone I knew spent their lives
D# A# D#
Trying to be watched on stage or watched on film or listened to on a record
G# A#
And they thought, "Well, maybe that way I could get a little love out of this life"
D# A# Cm G#
And I watched as the best of my generation abandoned their dreams
A#
And settled for making a little money
D# A# Cm G#
I watched TV and read the papers, listened to the radio and made all the fancy scenes
D# G#
And said all the right words and wore all the right clothes
D# A#
And knew the names of the hip people but I still felt out of touch
Cm A# G#
So I stopped watching TV and reading the papers and listening to the radio
D# G#
And making the fancy scenes and saying the right words
D# G#
And wearing the right clothes and knowing the names of the hip people
A#
And I felt more out of touch than ever, oh, but I didn't care anymore
Gm
And I felt you slipping away
G#
And I felt myself slipping from you
D# A# Cm
And I wanted more than anything else for it to rain for one whole day like it used to
G# D# G#
But all there ever was was sun, relentless sun, hot, beating sun
D# G#
And everyone wore their sunglasses and walked around like flies
Gm A#
Under magnifying glass with their eyes removed
[Chorus]
D#
Broken up in the wasteland
Gm
Broken up in the promised land
G#
Broken up in Disneyland
A#
Broken up in the plastic land
Cm
Broken up in the wasteland
G#
Broken up in the wasteland
Cm
Broken up in the wasteland
G#
Broken up in the wasteland
D#* G
Broken up in the wasteland
[Outro]
D#* G x3
