This song is based on three chords: D - A - G.  The main riff is based
on these chords and the chords themselves are played while Bob Mould
sings.  When I play I use the open forms of these chords; I'm not sure
what form Bob Mould uses (the fuzz makes it hard to tell).

DThey divided up Aall the Gland
We've got states and cities
Cities have their neighborhoods
And more subdivisions
There's lots of area codes
And nine digit zip codes
Secret decoder ring codes
Arteries, shopping nodes
There's countries divided by walls
Oceans and latitudes
And longitudes longing to find out
What there missing
We'll invent some new computers
Link up the global village
Get API, UPI, Reuters
To tell everybody the news, news
We'll be one happy neighborhood
Spread out across the world
But who's gonna stop that burglar from breaking into my house
When he lives that far away
We'll be just like old friends
No means to your ends
The police state is too busy
And the neighborhood's getting out of hand
Big Brother on every wall
Muzak plays in all the halls
Empires see the rise and fall
They divide and conquer
It's not about my politics
Something happened way to quick
A bunch of me who played it slick
They divide and conquer
It's all here before your eyes
Safety is a big disguise
That hides among the other lies
They divide and conquer
Well I expect I won't be heard
Cause my silence is assured
Never a discouraging word
They divide and conquer
