Verse:
C#
Well theyʼre shutting all the shops up on the avenue
F F# C#
And theyʼre holding out for cheaper Chinese food
C#
If Iʼm older now and have a tainted attitude
F F# C#
Whyʼd those neon lights all lose their common blue?
Chorus:

And itʼs not like me to feel so important
D#7 B C#
And itʼs not like me to go and wreck your day
D#7 B C#
And I never thought Iʼd see it so exploited
A# B C#
Ah but I know that somethinʼ bad has gotta change
A# B C#
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
