(Intro)
B  F#/B  F# /F

B        C  F#
            Do
B  F#/B  F# /F
Wah
B  F#/Bb C#  F#
Oh
B                      F#/Bb
Hanging about down the market street
  F#
I spent a lot of time on my feet
       B                F#/Bb
When I saw some passing yabbos
B      C#            F#
We did chance to speak

I knew how to sing
y' know an
They knew how to pose
An' one of them had a Les Paul
Heart attack machine

B       E     B
All the young punks
           E
Laugh your life
          B/Eb         B/Eb C#m
Cos there ain't much to cry for
B       E     B
All the young cunts
        F#
Live it now
          C#m               B
Cos there ain't much to die for

Everybody wants to bum
A ride on the rock 'n' roller coaster
And we went out
Got our name in small print on the poster
Of course we got a manger
Though he ain't the mafia
A contract is a contract
When they get 'em out on yer

          A
You gotta drag yourself to work
Drag yourself to sleep
       A
You're dead from the neck up
By the middle of the week

Face front you got the future shining
Like a piece of gold
But I swear as we get closer
It look more like a lump of coal
But it's better than some factory
Now that's no place to waste your youth
I worked there for a week once
I luckily got the boot
