Am  D  G  Em  
Am  D  G  E 

verse 1 
    Am                     D                       
the play ground bully that forced you  
     G            Em     
that cigarette at school 
   Am                    D                                                                        
it ain't the nicotine or ash he pushed  
           G             E 
it was the moulding of a fool 
     Am               D                      
that mum and dad once telling you  
    G                        Em     
the way you're dressed ain't cool 
     Am               D                                     
they ain't no genuine fashion tips  
           G             E 
that's the moulding of a fool 
    C               D                             
the dummy that they shove in mouth  
   Bm              Em    
as soon as you can speak  
    C                   D                           
the pushchair that they strap you in  
Bm                    Em     
soon as you find your feet 


Am                                                           
the car advert shorter skirt  
                   D 
the film you gotta see 
     G                                                      
that dish to cook the way you look  
                    Em 
the person you must be 
    Am                                
the cheapest shop the tightest top  
                       D 
the senseless waste of breath 
C                   D                    
revolution won't be televised  
    Bm                Em 
and neither will your death 
C                   D                     
revolution won't be televised  
    Bm                Em    
and neither will your death 

verse 2 

Am                     D                
the very first drop of alcohol  
    G                  Em   
the taste on tongue so cruel 
Am                  D                         
turns our dreams to plasticine  
    G               E 
and decent folks to fools 
    Am             D                     
the microscope the telescope  
    G            Em   
the study of the jewels 
         Am           D                               
It's the cutting of a gem alright  
         G             E 
it's the moulding of a fool 
     C                 D                     
your death will pass unnoticed  
       Bm          Em    
like a hiccup or a cough  
         C                D                               
like the news of a mother mourning loss  
     Bm          Em    
when televisions off 


Am                                                           
the car advert shorter skirt  
                   D 
the film you gotta see 
     G                                                      
that dish to cook the way you look  
                    Em 
the person you must be 
    Am                                                                              
the cheapest shop the tightest top  
                       D 
the senseless waste of breath 
C                   D                    
revolution won't be televised  
    Bm                Em 
and neither will your death 
C                   D                     
revolution won't be televised  
    Bm                Em    
and neither will your death 

verse 3 
    C              D                  
but written on the gravestone  
Bm                 Em    
tattooed upon your neck 
   C               D                            
is stay within the yellow lines  
    Bm                     E 
and don't wear stripe with check 

 
Am                                                           
the car advert shorter skirt  
                   D 
the film you gotta see 
     G                                                      
that dish to cook the way you look  
                    Em 
the person you must be 
    Am                            
the cheapest shop the tightest top  
                       D 
the senseless waste of breath 
C                   D                    
revolution won't be televised  
    Bm                Em 
and neither will your death 
C                   D                     
revolution won't be televised  
    Bm                Em    
and neither will your death 


Coda 
N.C. 
put sunroof down on car  

turn the music loud 

and think that acting proud or rich  

will stand us from the crowd
