[Verse]
F C* G
The Old Boy's Club has been throwing it's weight around
F It's been around so long aCnd I'm sick of Gthe sound
F If you're gonna say somethinCg, better sayG it loud
F Gonna take some counter-actioCn, gonna joiGn the crowd
[Chorus]
F C Am G I won't be put in my place
F C Am G I won't be put in my
[Verse]
FDo you feel okay?
C* G F
'Cause I can't blame you for feeling down
C* G
I'm gonna get myself together
G**
I'm gonna paint the town
[Chorus]
F C Am G I won't be put in my place
F C Am G I won't be put in my
[Verse]
FThe hand thaCt giveth
GIs set to taketh way
FThey strip you of yCour dignity
GThey make you work and then wait
FThey make yoCu work and Gthen wait
F C* G
The right-wing views have been getting me down
F They say that work brCings dignity, no matter wGhat job they dish out
F But the rich start life wiCth a handG-me-down
F The wage cap gets biggerC, doesn't it makeG you proud?
[Verse]
FThe hand thaCt giveth
GIs set to taketh way
FThey strip you of yCour dignity
GThey make you work and then wait
FThey make yoCu work and Gthen wait
[Verse]
FBut I won't bAme put inG my place
FI won't be puAt inG my place
GI won't be put in my
F You attack the vulnerable
They'd Ambetter get outG of your way
F You don't think you're culpable
They'd Ambetter get outG of your way
F But there's nowhere to go
EmAnd it's no way tAmo be
F There's enough to go around
CThere must be a differenGt way
F There must be aG different way
[Outro]
F C G
