Intro: Am Am E7 Am

  Am
Despair to the point till they provoke
    Am
The punchline before they have told the joke
    Am
The sheer desperation to be seen
 Am
Staring at the television screen

  Am
Despair to the point where they provoke
                  Am
You to tell the fucking punchline before you have told the joke
Am
Sorry sunshine it doesnʼt exist
   Am
It wasnʼt in the top 100 list

          F                E7
And itʼs the thousandth time and itʼs even bolder,
Am
Donʼt be surprised when you get bent over,
F       E7                  D#
He told ya, that you were gagging for it

   Am
She saw it and she grabbed it and it wasnʼt what it seemed
   Am
The kids all dream of making it, whatever that means
 Am
Another variation on a theme
           Am
A tangle on the television and the magazine
    Am
Dʼyou reckon that they Do it for a joke?
    Am
Dʼyou reckon that they make ʼem take an oath?
           Am
That says "we are defenders
   Am              Am
Of any poseur or professional pretender around"

          F           E7
When did your list replace the twist and turn?
     Am
Ah the fist, replaced the kissed-on concern
F                            E7
And if youʼre bothered, I donʼt want your prayers

Save it for the morning after

Am

         F                E7
And itʼs the thousandth time and itʼs even bolder,
Am
Donʼt be surprised when you get bent over,
F        E7                  Am
He told ya, that you were gagging for it

F
Lets have a game on the Teddy Picker
E7
Not quick enough can I have it quicker?
Am                          Am
Already thick and youʼre getting thicker
F
Lets have a game on the Teddy Picker
E7
Not quick enough can I have it quicker?
Am                          D#
Already thick and youʼre getting thicker
Am
Asuming that all things are equal,
Am                      E7
Whoʼd want to be men of the people
E7                   Am
When thereʼs people like you?
