Intro: D, G 

 D 
This is where my love runs out 
That no one really cares about  
 G 
Too many laws and satellites 
Loads of kids up for their rights 
 D 
For the country for the war 
For the Queen and for them all 
 G 
I'd rather stay at home tonight 
Than hang around with those Satellites  

  D 
Here's a tale for the unexpected 
If you're gonna be late then you'll get suspected 
 G 
For being upto no good, they only trust the ones that they love  
 D 
It's frustrating, It's too late 
I'm so disgraced to know your face 
 G 
I'd rather stay at home tonight 
Than hang around with those Satellites, oh yeah 

          D   
Then we looked, and we looked, and we didn't know where to go 
                                        G                           A

We just followed everyone else in the crowd, everyone else in the crowd, everyone else in the  

D, G 

D 
So I seem to breach the peace  
Of a common riot on the common street  
G 
We love the rose but we hate the rules 
For private land and private schools 
D 
It's back to basics from the start 
You'll never have a piece of heart 
G 
To rather stay at home tonight 
Than hang around with those satellites  

          D 
Then we looked, and we looked, and we didn't know where to go 
                                        G                           A 
We just followed everyone else in the crowd, everyone else in the crowd

We just followed everyone else in the crowd, everyone else in the crowd 
                         G                      G          
Oh everyone else in the crowd, just followed everyone else in the crowd 
    A 
everyone else in the crowd, everyone else in the
