SOL#m SOL#m FA#6 MIb
1st VERSET
SOL#m
Don't try so hard to be different
SOL#m
The cracks are beginning to show
FA#6
You drift like a cloud through the festival crowd
MIb
In a frock coat from Saville Row
SOL#m
You've just been an all-night party
SOL#m
Where I have to admit it takes pluck
FA#6
To go out on the floor and proclaim "What a bore"
MIb
In a T-shirt that reads "Disco Sucks"
SOL#m
Yes, here he comes, the not-so-young
SOL#m
Pretender to the Throne
FA#6
He's singing "Rag, Momma, Rag"
MIb
Won't you give that poor dog a bone?
SOL#m
And he's wondering why we can't connect
SOL#m
When he's sworn to us that he's totally wrecked
FA#6
On the rustic charm that he affects
MIb
On a public schoolboy whim
SOL#m
With a raggle taggle plastic gypsy
SOL#m
Robert Zimmerframe
FA#6
With a synthesized accordian
MIb
A-scramblin' up my brain
SOL#m
With a fiddle-dee-dee a fiddle on high
SOL#m
Excuse me folks while I kiss the sky
FA#6
Or at any rate give it one more try
MIb
before I
MIb
die
MIb
before I

2nd VERSET
SOL#m
The overrated hit the stage
SOL#m
Overpaid and over here
FA#6
And their idea of counter-culture's
MIb
Momma's charge account at Sears
SOL#m
And they're wondering why we can't connect
SOL#m
With the ritual of the trashed guitar
FA#6
One more paltry empty gesture
MIb
The ashes of a burned out star
SOL#m
Yes here they come, both old and young
SOL#m
A contact low or high
FA#6
The gathering of the tribes descending
MIb
Vultures from a caustic sky
SOL#m
The rotting carcase of July
SOL#m
An ugly sun hung out to dry
FA#6
You gorgeous hippy dreams are dying
MIb
Your frazzled brains are putrifying
SOL#m
Repackaged, sold and sanitizied
SOL#m
The devil's music exorcised
FA#6
You live, you die, you lie, you lie, you
MIb
die perpetuate the
SOL#m
lie
SOL#m
perpetuate the
FA#6
lie
MIb
perpetuate the
SOL#m
lie
SOL#m
Just to perpetuate the
FA#6
lie
MIb
