All four had been students at Flinders University and together developed an intensely passionate and outspoken outlook.

Em
White door ninth floor silent number
D
It's autumn on a cold avenue
G
Telex intercept, he sips a cigarette
A C
Warms up his VDU

Em
He gets his kicks from microchips
D
His orders from the CIA
G
Biro bugs and lasers, casual surveillance
A C
Of boardrooms and communiqués

B
Don't use your phone and don't use mine
A
Don't speak treason, they're tapping the lines

Em C D G
Break-in, stake out, tell it in code
Em C G D
Everything is legal, anything goes
Em C D G
The nights getting darker and the ill wind blows
A C D
Your life's in a databank in ASIO

Em
Trained in the ghettos of Lebanon
D
Truncheons and an M16
G
Sellin' scag, UN flag
A C
Now he's trading in securities

Em
Darwin rendezvous, B52
D
Trench coat’s slightly creased
G
From a coup in Asia, US Air Force Major
A C
Buying dirty laundry, swearing it's for peace

B
Infiltration, we'll never know
A
Just like Chile but the bruises don't show

Em C D G
Break-in, stake out, tell it in code
Em C G D
Everything is legal, anything goes
Em C D G
The nights getting darker and the ill wind blows
A C D
Your life's in a databank in ASIO


[Bridge]

D A G B


[Solo]

Em C A G B x 4

Em
Spook behind the bar, unmarked car
D
Rumours hang like stale perfume
G
Flushin' under beds, sniffin' out the reds
A C
Nobody can feel immune

Em
And no names no stress no blame no press
D
Clean when the dirty work's done
G
Allocate a budget, special branch thug
A C
Do it for the fractures, do it for the fun

B
Midnight Flashlight, a crash on the door
A
The rats on the table, blood on the floor

Em C D G
Break-in, stake out, tell it in code
Em C G D
Everything is legal, anything goes
Em C D G
The nights getting darker and the ill wind blows

(pause)

A C D
Your life's in a databank in ASIO


Em, C, A, G, B x 2

B A G

Em, C, A, G, B x 2
