In answer to the question about the groove this song is based on here 
is a rough version. I'm not sure if it's right nor not.  It's possibly I've made 
it (the chorus especially) needlessly over-complicated. It's probably quite simple 
for someone who can actually play a bit. 
 
Intro:
   
Am / Am / Am / Am / Dus2 / Dus2 / Dus2 / A9
 
Am      577555
Dsus2   557755
A9      557555 
 
Am / Am / Am / Am / Dus2 / Dus2 / Dus2 / A9  
Ci   vil  is  ation                   
Am / Am / Am / Am / Dus2 / Dus2 / Dus2 / A9              
has come a long way
D7                                      
Out of the mud where chitinous bugs 
Am / Am / Am / Am /    Dus2 / Dus2 / Dus2 / A9  
eat each other all day
 
Am / Am / Am / Am / Dus2 / Dus2 / Dus2 / A9              
Am / Am / Am / Am / Dus2 / Dus2 / Dus2 / A9 
 
[And so on for all the verses]
 
 
Now we're in the clouds working overtime for our pay
Countin' the numbers and being the bugs that eat each other today
 
Sitting in an office in a publishing house
Or in a big company working a computer clicking a mouse
 
Pulling up your file checking your sales
Meeting those quotas and accommodating voters that's the holy grail
 
CHORUS
            Am    C              D         D7           Dsus2   A9
Cos it's a bean counter and if that don't fill you with terr    or
Am    C        D               D7                Dsus2   A9
Bean counter. Takin' the human out of the human  err     or
 
In a glass tower uptown or downtown
She's workin' every hour runnin' through your contract writing your deficit down
She's downsizing everything including her brain
Snackin' on potato chips smackin' her lips lickin' her pencil again
 
CHORUS REPEAT
From Wall Street to Hong Kong. Chinee to Chancery Lane
You're being rubber stamped your style is being cramped. It all comes out the same
 
They're not being paid to think. That's not the idea
And they never run out of red ink, get that particularly clear
CHORUS REPEAT
Snackin' on potato chips givin' you a scan
Deleting your account phasing you out in the trash can
 
Now if you don't meet projections. If there ain't enough zeroes involved
You'll get stamped rejections and then that problem is solved
