Verse:
D#
Well theyʼre shutting all the shops up on the avenue
G G# D#
And theyʼre holding out for cheaper Chinese food
D#
If Iʼm older now and have a tainted attitude
G G# D#
Whyʼd those neon lights all lose their common blue?
Chorus:
F7 C# D#
And itʼs not like me to feel so important
F7 C# D#
And itʼs not like me to go and wreck your day
F7 C# D#
And I never thought Iʼd see it so exploited
C C# D#
Ah but I know that somethinʼ bad has gotta change
C C# D#
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
