Biography:
The The is an alternative/new wave band formed in 1979 in London, England. Matt Johnson (vocals, multiple instruments) is the only constant band member. Releases are fairly few and far between but over the years The The has managed to sell several million albums internationally.
Johnson formed the first version of the band in 1979, with synth player Keith Laws. The group, after opening for Scritti Politti, issued its first single "Controversial Subject" on the 4AD label in 1980.

Everybody knows what's goin wrong with the world

Ya gotta work out your own salvation with no explaination.
To this earth we fall. On hands and knees we crawl.
And we look up to the stars and reach out and pray to a deaf, dumb and
blind God who never explains.
Chorus
Gm7 C
Lord I've been here oh so long
Dm7 Bb
I can feel it comin down on me
Gm7 C Dm7
I'm just a slow emotion replay of somebody
Bb
I used to be
Repeat -> Gm7 C Dm7 C Gm7 C Dm7
