Lyrics

Well, you win; it’s your show now, so (G)what’s it gon na be?

’Cause peo ple will tune in.

How man y train wrecks (G)do we need to see be fore we lose touch?

Oh, and (G)we thought this was low.

Well, it’s bad, get tin’ worse, oh.

(G)Where’d all the good peo ple (C)go?

I’ve been (G)chang ing chan nels; I don’t see them on the T V shows.

(G)Where’d all the good peo ple (C)go?

We got (G)heaps and heaps of what we sow.

They got (C)this and that with a (F)rat tle a tat.

Test ing, one, two.

Man, what cha gon na do?

Bad (C)news, mis used, got (F)too much to lose.

(Dm)Gim me some truth; now whose side are we on?

What (C)ev er you say.

Turn on the (Dm)boob tube; I’m in the (G)mood to o bey.

So, (C)lead me a stray.

And by the way now...

(G)Where’d all the good peo ple

Sit ting ’round, feel ing far a (C7)way.

So far a way, but I can feel the de (G)bris.

Can you feel (Gb7)it?

You in ter rupt me from a (C7)friend ly con ver sa tion

to tell me how great it’s all gon na (G)be.

You might no (C7)tice some hes i ta tion (C#7)’cause it’s im por tant to you; it’s not im por tant to me.

Mm, mm, mm, mm.

Way down by the (C7)edge of yo ur rea son, well, it’s be gin ning to show,

and (F)all I real ly wan na know is, (G)where’d all the good peo ple (C)go?

I’ve been (G)chang ing chan nels; I don’t see them on the T V shows.

(G)Where’d all the good peo ple (C)go?

We got (G)heaps and heaps of what we sow.

They got (C)this and that with a (F)rat tle a tat.

Test ing, one, two.

Man, what cha gon na do?

Bad (C)news, mis used, (F)give me some truth.

You got (Dm)too much to lose.

Whose side are we on to (C)day, an y way?

O kay, what (F)ev er you say.

Where’d all the good peo ple...

(C)Go ing, go ing, gone.
