Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed

D                                                         Bm

And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats

G                       D

Janitors padlock the gates

         A                   Bm

For security guards to patrol

While the married ones turn on a chat show

Gentlemen time please you know we can't serve any more

D Bm

Now the traffic lights stop when theres nothing to go

G                   D

And by five o clock everythings dead

Like the dope white mice in the college lab

Telephone exchanges click while theres nobody there

The martians could land in the car park and no-one would care

Close-circuit cameras in department stores

A       Bm

Shoot the same movie every night

G                                                                                 D

And the stars of these films neither died nor get killed

             A    Bm

Just to survive constant action replay

Bill hoardings advertise products that nobody needs

D                 Bm

While angry from Manchester writes to complain about all the repeats on tv

G               D

And computer terminals report some gains

On the value of copper and tin

While American businessmen snap up van Goths

For the price of a hospital wing
