[Verse 1]
C#m
Goodness Gracious, is there nothing left to say?
         E                                     F#/D#
When the ones that get to keep looking are the ones that look away
     F#                              Amaj7                   Amaj7  F#    C#m
It's pabulum for the sleepers in the cult of brighter days


[Verse 2]
C#m
Goodness Gracious, at the mercy of the crooks
         E                                     F#/D#
We're broke and stroking vegetables and there's way too many cooks
     F#                              Amaj7                   Amaj7  F#    C#m
In every pot a pink slip, In every mouth a hook


[Verse 3]
C#m
Goodness Gracious, I'm not listening anymore
         E                                     F#/D#
Cause the spooks are in the White House and they've justified a war
     F#                              Amaj7                   Amaj7  F#    C#m
So wake me when they notify we're gonna fight some more


[Chorus]
G#                     C#m
Goodness Gracious, not many people care
   F#                            D#
Concern is getting scarcer, true compassion really rare
      G#                         F#
I can see it on our faces, I can feel it in the air
F#       D# G#    C#m
Goodness Gracious me


[Verse 4]
C#m
Goodness Gracious, my generation's lost
     E                                     F#/D#
They burned down all our bridges before we had a chance to cross
          F#                          Amaj7                  Amaj7  F#    C#m
Is it the winter of our discontent or just an early frost?


[Verse 5]
C#m
Goodness Gracious, of apathy I sing
     E                                     F#/D#
The baby boomers had it all and wasted everything
          F#                          Amaj7                  Amaj7  F#    C#m
Now recess is almost over and they won't get off the swing


[Chorus]
G#                    C#m
Goodness Gracious, we came in at the end
   F#                           D#
No sex that isn't dangerous, no money left to spend
          G#                               F#
We're the cleanup crew for parties we were too young to attend
F#       D# G#    C#m
Goodness Gracious me


[Outro]
C#m
Goodness Gracious, my grandma used to say
     E                                     F#/D#
The world's a scary place now, things were different in her day
          F#                          Amaj7                  Amaj7  F#    C#m
What horrors will be commonplace when my hair starts to grey?
