ANOTHER DAY IN DILBERTLAND

E
Everybody?s climbing up the company ladder
G#m A
Everybody?s doing all the things that matter today -
E/G# F#m A B
So they say - if you ever want to make it
E
Everybody?s worried ?bout the competition
G#m C#m A
Everybody?s itching to get in position to fight
E/G# F#m A B
Day and night - even if you have to fake it
A E/G# F#m E/G#
Memos, meetings, voice-mail greetings, spending half your life on hold
A C#m F#m D B
Profits, losses, uptight bosses lurching out of control
CHORUS:
E G#m A B C#m
It?s just another day in Dilbertland, where every project?s neatly planned
F#m A
For Total Quality insanity
B E G#m A B C#m
Yes it?s another day in Dilbertland, but there?s one thing I don?t understand -
F#m A E
Is it all of us, or is it simply me?
Everybody here is a real go-getter
But everybody here knows that you?d better watch out -
There ain?t no doubt - someone?s looking over your shoulder
Everybody here is really motivated
But everybody here gets so frustrated about
How it all turns out, when the only thing you?re getting is older
Dead computers, burnt commuters, cubicles and overtime
Budget battles, office tattles driving us out of our minds
CHORUS
F#m/E G#m/E A/E B/E A/E E
No one ever dares to show the panic that they?re feeling
F#m/E G#m/E A/E B/E A/E E
No one ever sees the souls that the thin grey hands are stealing
D A
You only hope that thirty years from now, the nightmare all works out somehow
F#m G#m A B
But you know that it?s now or never if we?re ever gonna make it better, ?cos
CHORUS
