Where do we go from here?

[Verse]
I need to wash myself again,
To hide all the dirt and pain,
Cause I'd be scared...
That there's nothing underneath.
Em
Who are my real friends?
G
Have they all got the bends?
C
Am I really sinking
Th - is low?

I'm just lying in a bar with my drip feed on,

Talking to my girlfriend waiting for something to happen.
I wish it was the sixties,
I wish we could be happy
I wish, I wish, I wish
That something would
happen...

[Verse]
Where do we go from here?
The planet is a gunboat, In a sea of fear...
And where are you?
They brought in the CIA,
The tanks and the whole marines to blow me away, To blow me sky high...
