[Intro]
G D
 
[Verse 1]
Am
Empty factories to the east and all our waste
D                                          G               D
The shape of things that came shows on the broken worker's face
Am
To the west you'll find a silicon promised land
      D                                   G            D
Where machines replace our minds for systematic profit plans
Am
Course of human progress staggers like a drunk
    D                                  G                D
Its steps are quick and heavy, and its mind is slow and blunt
Am
I look for optimism, but I just don't know
    D                             G                   D
Its seeds are planted in a poison place where nothing grows
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Am                 G
It's 1989, stand up and take a look around
C                   D
Weather's bitter tension, it seems, is sinking down
Am                   G
Drunk with power and fighting one another
C                    D
Every hour shows the winter getting harder
 
[Chorus 1]
Am                             D
There's a freeze up (There's a freeze up coming)
Am                   D
There's a freeze up (Freeze up coming)
Am                            D
There's a freeze up(There's a freeze up coming)
Am                  D
There's a freeze up coming
 
[Verse 2]
Am
One nation stands the tallest radiating blinding light
D                             G             D
Plastic and florescent energy robbing us of sight
Am
Set in our way, content with our decay
   D                              G           D
We wave the flag of freedom as we conquer and invade
Am
Ever ask yourself, "Where's my place in this hell?"
    D                                       G                   D
But no one's there to tell you, 'cause they don't know that themselves
Am
Well-rehearsed lines from our elated politicians
   D                           G            D
No longer offer solace, we can see the self-destruction
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Am                 G
It's 1989, stand up and take a look around
C                   D
Weather's bitter tension, it seems, is sinking down
Am                   G
Drunk with power and fighting one another
C                    D
Every hour shows the winter getting harder
 
[Chorus 2]
Am                             D
There's a freeze up (There's a freeze up coming)
Am                   D
There's a freeze up (Freeze up coming)
Am                            D
There's a freeze up(There's a freeze up coming)
Am                  D
There's a freeze up coming
 
[Solo]
Am G C D
Am G C D
 
[Bridge]
Am                            D
Just one political song, just one political song
   Am                                D
To drop into the list that stretches years and years long
Am                            D
Just one political song, just one political song
   Am                                D
To drop into the list that stretches years and years long
Am     N.C.
Static and division is increasing like a storm
N.C.
We are shelter, We are forewarned
N.C.
Nothing can be changed except ourselves
                                 D
Nothing can be changed except ourselves
 
[Outro]
Am                  D
There's a freeze up,
Am                  D
There's a freeze up coming
Am                  D
There's a freeze up,
Am                  D
There's a freeze up coming
Am                             D
There's a freeze up (There's a freeze up coming)
Am                   D
There's a freeze up (Freeze up coming)
Am                             D
There's a freeze up (There's a freeze up coming)
Am                  D      Am
There's a freeze up coming
