Verse:
C#5
Well theyʼre shutting all the shops up on the avenue
F5 F#5 C#5
And theyʼre holding out for cheaper Chinese food
C#5
If Iʼm older now and have a tainted attitude
F5 F#5 C#5
Whyʼd those neon lights all lose their common blue?
Chorus:
D#5 B5 C#5
And itʼs not like me to feel so important
D#5 B5 C#5
And itʼs not like me to go and wreck your day
D#5 B5 C#5
And I never thought Iʼd see it so exploited
A#5 B5 C#5
Ah but I know that somethinʼ bad has gotta change
A#5 B5 C#5
Oh yes I know that somethinʼ bad has gotta change
Verse:
Well I see ʼem working round the block till six a.m.
The thermometerʼs at minus five degrees
And Iʼm wondering where all that hard earned money goes
To her head or towards a shred of dignity
Chorus:
And itʼs not like me to feel so important
And itʼs not like me to go and wreck your day
And I never thought Iʼd see it so exploited
Ah but I know that somethinʼ bad has gotta change
Oh yes I know that somethinʼ bad has gotta change
Go!
And itʼs not like me to feel so important
And itʼs not like me to go and wreck your day
And I never thought Iʼd see it so exploited
Ah but I know that somethinʼ bad has gotta change
Oh yes I know that somethinʼ bad has gotta change
Yes I know that somethinʼ bad has gotta change
Oh yes I know that somethinʼ bad has gotta change
