Ab                                                         Db 
fuck the politically minded, here's something i want to say 
Ab                                                       Db 
about the state of the nation, the way it treats us today 
Ab                          Db  Ab                 Db 
At school they give you shit,   drop you in the pit 
Ab 
you try and try to get out, but you can't because they've you about 
Ab                                                   Db 
Then you're the prime example of how they must not be 
Ab 
this is just a sample of what they've done to you and me 
 
Chorus: 
Db               B       Eii                Eb 
do they owe us a living? of course they do! of course they do! 
Db               B       Eii                Eb 
do they owe us a living? of course they do! of course they do! 
Db               B 
do they owe us a living? OF COURSE THEY FUCKING DO! 
 
verse 2: 
they don't want me anymore because i threw it on the floor 
they used to call me sweet thing, but i'm nobody's plaything 
and now that i'm different, they'd love to bust my heat 
they'd love to see me cop out, they'd love to see me dead 
 
repeat Chorus 
 
verse 3: 
the living that is owed to me i'm going to get 
they've buggered this old world up, up to their necks on debt 
they'd give you a lobotomy for something you ain't done 
they'll make you an epitomy of everything that's wrong. 
 
repeat Chorus 
 
verse 4: 
don't take any notice to what the public think, 
they're so hyped up on tv, they just don't want to think 
they'll use you for a target for demands and advice, 
when you don't wanna hear it they'll say you're full of vice 
 
repeat Chorus 
 
end
