4/4
The Gsun struggles up another beautiful day
And I felt Emglad in my Amown suspicious way
GYeah (yeah) Cyeah (yeah) Gyeah (yeah) Cmyeah (yeah)
GDespite the contraEmdiction and conAmfusion
Felt Dtragic without Creason
There's malice and there's Dmagic in every season
CHORUS
G F Em Cm/Eb
>From the foaming breakers of the poisonous surf
The Gother Emside of AmSumDmer
G F Em Cm/Eb
To the burning forests in the hills of Astroturf
The Gother Dside of AmSumGmer
G D Am G
The automatic Dmgates close up between the Bbshanties and the A7palace
The Dmblowtorch amusements, the Bbvoodoo A7chalice
The Dmpale pathetic promises that Bbeverybody A7swallows
Dm A7 Dm (B C B A D) D
A teenage girl is crying 'cos she don't look like a million dollars
(B C B A D) D
So help her if you can
(B C B A D) D
'Cos she don't seem to have the attention span
CHORUS
Was it a millionDmaire who said &Bbquot;imaginA7e no possessions"?
A Dmpoor little schoolboy who said &Bbquot;we don't neeA7d no lessons"?
The Dmrabid rebel dogs ranBbsack the shampoo A7shop
The Dmpop princess is A7downtown Dmshooting up
(B C B A D) D
And if that goddess
(B C B A D) D
is fit for burning
(B C B A D) D
The sun will struggle up the world will still keep turning
GMadman standing by the side of the road saying
"Look at my eEmyes, look at my eAmyes, look at my eyes, look at my eyes"
GYeah (yeah) Cyeah (yeah) Gyeah (yeah) Cmyeah (yeah)
GNow you can't afEmford to fake Amall the drugs your Dparents used to Ctake
Because of their misDtakes you'd better be wide awake
CHORUS
The Gmightiest Frose
Em Cm/Eb
The absence of perfume
The Gcasual Emkillers
The Ammilitary Dcurfew
The Gcardboard Fcity
Em Cm/Eb
And an unwanted birthday
The Gother Emside of AmsumGmer
G F Em Cm/Eb
The dancing was desperate and the music was worse
They Gbury your Emdreams and Amdig up the Dworthless
GoodGnight, God Fbless
Em Cm/Eb
And kiss "goodbye" to the earth
The Gother Emside of AmsumGmer
(repeat last line)
