Generation X - Paradise west

^EA sixteen hundred, ^Bpacked with angry young men Came ^Aburning down main street ^EI touched the Epiphone that ^Bhung on my hip It knew the ^Asound of my heartbeat ^F#mBut turning the corner in ^G#ma twisted heap They ^Bpulled some bodies from an upturned Ford ^ESome kid looked at me and ^Bsaid, it's only life Might as well ^Ause it while we're young ^AMight as well use it while we're young

^EI queued with some friends outside ^Bthe ABC One To see the ^Akiller with no name Yeah, ^EDe Niro's so great, and you ^Bknow last week I saw the ^Auniverse in flames But it's ^F#malways the same like Citizen^G#m Kane Ya end up with ^Bnothing! and you leave for home ^ETalking and kicking coke ^Bcans in the street ^AAs Fu Manchu looks on ^{A A}As Fu Manchu looks on

^GAnd I thought they must think I'm ^Amcrazy The ^Cthings I'll see for ^Dfun ^GThen in my mind I saw the^Am enemy And I ^Cwasted him with my ^Dgun

^EI thought of my brother ^Bworking Heathrow Flying ^Aengines in the night ^ELearning every part, he'll be ^Bthrough in years When ^AI'm signed on for life ^F#mLying here, waiting for a^G#m hero to ^Brise

N.C.

But a lazy man lies back instead ^ENo one hears the ^Byoung man when ^Ahe's alone ^EPlanning to ^Bkill some^Aone! ^{A A}Well he's planning to kill someone ^A

^GAnd I thought it must be me who's ^Amcrazy The ^Cthings I'll do for f^Dun ^GChoosing poison to get to ^Amparadise ^CParadise West ^Done ^A
