This is my first post, I don't have a clue what am doing, so bear with me.
I play an acoustic, and don't really have a very good ear for _actual_ chords.
so this is a version that I like.  You can play along with the record, or play
alone.  Of course, you may not be playing what Peter Buck played, but it is fun
anyway.  And don't laugh at my ignorance of chord names, you smart alecks
(grin).  And especially don't laugh at the "lyrics" here since they are not my
doing.  You will have to listen to the record for the rhythms.  Any questions
queries qualms or quandries should be directed to me.  Gripes, too.

Wrecking all things virtuous and true

The undermining, social, democratic, downhill slide of truth, abysmal

marched into the capital, pretty duplicitous lookin' at evil, media-ready,

{same as above}
The information nation took the clues from all the sound byte glut
1980, 84, 88, 92, too .... too
 
Hard to be what you can be jump down junk in your energy
Hard to walk in dignity with throw-up on your shoes
They can't supply the oil, 1979
Calculate the capital, one for the public, ask any ask TV tells a million 
lies that they twist down by the report anything that isn't handed 
on a presidential spoon
I'm just put down and frustrated by all this so fuck you man
Fuck 'em [Yea, yea, yea], Ignoreland [Yea, yea, yea], Ignoreland

But I'm resentful all the same, someone's got to take the blame

{same as above}
I know that this is vitriol, no solution spleen-venting
But I feel better having screamed on you
They desecrate the winner, 1979
capital collateral, pretty duplicitous lookin' at evil, media-ready,
heartless, and they were super U.S. citizen super achiever
mega ultra power doesn't relax 
defense, defense, defense, defense, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ignoreland [Yea, yea, yea], Ignoreland [Yea, yea, yea]
Ignoreland [Yea, yea, yea], Ignoreland [Yea, yea, yea]
