Intro: Em Em B Em


   Em                         
Despair to the point till they provoke
      Em                                 
The punchline before they have told the joke
      Em                      
The sheer desperation to be seen
  Em                       
Staring at the television screen

   Em                               
Despair to the point where they provoke
                          Em                                 
You to tell the fucking punchline before you have told the joke
Em                         
Sorry sunshine it doesn't exist
    Em                     
It wasn't in the top 100 list

               C                       B
And it's the thousandth time and it's even bolder,
Em
Don't be surprised when you get bent over,
C           B                           A# 
He told ya, that you were gagging for it

    Em                                 
She saw it and she grabbed it and it wasn't what it seemed
    Em                            
The kids all dream of making it, whatever that means
 Em                       
Another variation on a theme
                Em                      
A tangle on the television and the magazine
      Em                            
D'you reckon that they do it for a joke?
      Em                                 
D'you reckon that they make 'em take an oath?
                Em    
That says "we are defenders
    Em                    Em              
Of any poseur or professional pretender around"

               C                B
When did your list replace the twist and turn?
        Em
Ah the fist, replaced the kissed-on concern
C                                          B
And if you're bothered, I don't want your prayers

Save it for the morning after


Solo: Em


             C                        B
And it's the thousandth time and it's even bolder,
Em
Don't be surprised when you get bent over,
C            B                          Em
He told ya, that you were gagging for it

C                       
Lets have a game on the Teddy Picker
B
Not quick enough can I have it quicker?
Em                                      Em
Already thick and you're getting thicker
C
Lets have a game on the Teddy Picker
B
Not quick enough can I have it quicker?
Em                                      A#
Already thick and you're getting thicker
Em            
Asuming that all things are equal,
Em                                B
Who'd want to be men of the people
B                            Em
When there's people like you?
