^CYou were born with ^Dmfootball boots and a ^Gsuntan compl^Cexion You once ^Fthought that on ref^Dmlection, I've ^Greally got it made

^CYou shrugged and ^Dmsmiled and made the ^Gusual exc^Cuses You ^Fsuffered small a^Dmbuses, and ^Gsettled for their ^Cpay

^FYou want to ^Dmlearn to live like ^Gan aristo^Ccrat ^FBut your girlfriend's ^Dmearrings well they ^Gsoon put pay to that

and if the ^Fwhole world came ^Dmcrashing, ^Gdown around your ^Cears You could ^Fdream of stucco ^Dmwallpaper and ^Gcrystal chandeliers

^CYou cashed ^Dmin your cards, you ^Gwant to buy some ^Cglamour You ^Freally are ^Dmenamoured, with that ^Gnew soap on a rope

^CA thousand fat ^Dmcomedians came ^Gin disguised as ^Cclerics They ^Fgot you in hyst^Dmerics, and ^Gwalked off with your soul

and with that ^Fcheapskate, ^Dmroyalty, you ^Gget your flag and ^Cwave Well ^FI've seen you on ^DmTV grinning ^Gat the motorcade

F Dm G

P^Cretty soon we'll hang the traitors, we'll string them up like drapes And I'll ^Fride around like ^DmSteve McQueen ^Gin The Great Escape

^CYou hung ar^Dmound too long, your ^Gmother read your ^Cletters You ^Fgrinned like a go-^Dmgetter, ^Gcome and got and gone

^CThe time the ^Dmmorning slips, blends ^Ginto the wall^Cpaper and ^Fonce you could ^Dmescape her, but ^Gwhere did you go wrong

and your ^Ffather's at the ^Dmfactory that makes ^Gmoney selling ^Cguns That ^Ffought the wars that ^Dmspent the lives of ^Gother peoples sons

F Dm G

Prett^Cy soon we'll hang the traitors, we'll string them up like drapes And I'll ^Fride around like ^DmSteve McQueen ^Gin The Great Escape

^CYou were born with ^Dmfootball boots and a ^Gsuntan compl^Cexion You once ^Fthought that on ref^Dmlection, you'd ^Greally got it ^Cmade

You once ^Fthought that on ref^Dmlection, you'd ^Greally got it ^Cmade F Dm G You^C once thought that on reflection, oh yeah, I've really got it made
