Intro: A G D/F# A G D/F# A G D/F#
G G/F# G/E A G G/F# G/E A
A G D/F#
They say this is the Golden Age
A G D/F#
Video Millennium
A G D/F#
Tidings from the self-made media sage
G G/F# G/E A
Tickings of the bi - o - bomb
A G D/F#
Jet-set etiquette consciousness
A G D/F#
Mono-syllabic good-byes
A G D/F#
No one cares about no one else
G G/F# G/E A
We’re so used to the capi-tal "I"
(Chorus)
D/F# G
The Golden Age (electric Ne - anderthal)
D/F# G
The Golden Age (the digital mortality)
D/F# G C/G E
The Golden Age, nothing really changes in the Golden Age
A G D/F#
They say this is the Golden Age
A G D/F#
In which both virtue and flaw
A G D/F#
And the entire human element
G G/F# G/E A
Are effects of quan-tum laws
A G D/F#
Deep in the wells of the centrifuge
A G D/F#
The spectrum of the soul is mined
A G D/F#
It seems we know ourselves too well
G G/F# G/E A
But don’t like what we find
(Chorus)
(Interlude as intro)
A G D/F#
Well, they say this is the Golden Age
A G D/F#
We’ve got tapes of the truth in drag
A G D/F#
We’ve got thermographs of the fires in Hell
G G/F# G/E A
And renderings of the cos - mic bang
A G D/F#
And if this is the Golden Age
A G D/F#
Are we no longer human beings?
A G D/F#
Are we civilization’s afterbirth?
G G/F# G/E A
Some kind of flesh and blood ma - chine
(Chorus)
C G C E
The Golden Age, the Golden Age
(Ending as intro but repeat G G/F# G/E A sequence thrice)
