[Verse 1]
Em D Am
Mr Kokoschka, it just happened again (sad, so sad)
Em D Am
They struck the museum like a hurricane (sad, so sad)
Em D Am
All of our culture, it's dead and it's gone (sad, so sad)
Em D Am
From Babylon, baby, back to Babylon (sad, so sad)
[Chorus]
Em
There's stuff you find along the way
D
and stuff you leave behind
Em D
And it all ends up as stuff that you can buy

Em D Am
In old Baghdad, they're dusting off the antiques (sad, so sad)
Em D Am
It's the fourteenth Guernica we've had this week (sad, so sad)
Em D Am
I got twenty-five dollars for a Persian vase (sad, so sad)
Em D Am
Hold the critique, I think I'll go large (sad, so sad)
[Chorus]
Em D
That stuff inside your houses and that stuff behind your eyes
Em D
Well, it all ends up as stuff that you can buy

[Verse 3]
Em D Am
They're building a tower out of wrappers and cans (sad, so sad)
Em D Am
Now we speak in a language that we all understand (sad, so sad)
Em D Am
T-t-t-t-toungue-tied and starry-eyed (sad, so sad)
Em D Am
It's the ancient history of old school ties (sad, so sad)
[Chorus]
Em D
There's stuff dressed up as truth and then there's stuff dressed up as lies
Em D
And it all ends up as stuff that you can buy
