The Kinks - Brainwashed: chords

G
Look like a real human being
But you don't have a mind of your own
Yeah, you can talk, you can breathe
You can work, you can stitch, you can sew
(But you're brainwashed)
C            A#       F
Yes you are, yes you are
A#       F         C
Get down on your knees

You've got a job and a house
And a wife and your kids and your car
Yeah, you're conditioned to think
What they want you to think
and be happy to be where you are
Yes you are
Get down on your knees
Get down on your knees

    G               A#
The aristocrats and bureaucrats
     C              D                  G A# C D
Are dirty rats for making you what you are
  G                          A#
They're up there and you’re down here
       C                         D
You're on the ground and they're up with
      G A# C D
the stars
Cm                    Cmmaj7
All your life they've kicked you around
     Cm7
and pushed you around
         Cm6            Cm Cm/B Cm/A# Cm/A
Till you can't take any more
   G                  A#
To them you're just a speck of dirt
     C                 D               G A# C D
But you don't want to get up off the floor
D                   C   A#
Mister you're just brainwashed

They give you social security
Tax saving benefits that grow at maturity
Yeah, you're content just to be what they
want you to be
And to do what they want you to
Yes you are, yes you are
Get down on your knees
