                        G
The demonstrations got boring
              Csus2
Well it was obvious that the government was ignoring us
      Em7
Its hard to drag yourself through empty streets
      F6sus2
On an empty stomach and no sleep
                      G
The shortcomings got clearer
       Csus2
As the price we paid got dearer and dearer
      Em7
Its supposed to be a case of give and take
           F6sus2
Well I was feeling the give and making a mistake


          Am                    F                 G
And Ive heard it said that the unexamined life
Am                F                           G
Isnt much worth living, and Im sure theyre right
          Am              F                 G
But its hard to keep on fighting the good fight
     Am                 F
When no one else seems bothered yeah
      D
When no ones on your side

     C                 D
Im young enough to be all pissed off
         G                C
But Im old enough to be jaded
     C                  D
Im of the age where I want things to change
          Bm                   Em  Dsus4
But with age my hopes have faded
     C                        D
Im young and bored of being young and bored
          B7                          Em   Dsus4
If I was old I could say Id seen it all before
    C          D                G
In short Im tired of giving a shit


                         G
Ive got friends who are bankers
            Csus2
And its an easy rhyme to call them wankers
      Em7
But I must say I envy the way that they live
     F6sus2
In a style thats all take and no give
                           G
While Im playing the Lone Ranger
              Csus2
Riding to the rescue of six billion strangers
Em7
Armed with only unoriginal songs
          F6sus2
And a sense that somethings wrong



      C                    G/B             Am            G7
And I must admit that Im tired of saying no all the time
      C                 Em7               Fmaj7           G7
But I must admit that I dont really know what would be right
         C            B7                            Em        Dsus4
And if politics is helping all the people then my political career is pretty
 C
fucked
             C                     D               G
Because the truth is I dont like people all that much


                        G
The times they arent a changing
        Csus2
Yeah Englands still shit and its still raining
      Em7
And everybodys jaded and tired and bored
    F6sus2
And no one lifts a finger because
                     G
Its just not in our culture
    Csus2
Our culture is carrion and were all vultures
    Em7
And no one seems bothered by this state of play
   F6sus2
It seems that the stench is with us to stay

     Am           F               G
So I had a go I tried examining life
    Am                F                        G
It wasnt much worth living I guess theyre right
         Am                  F                   G
And Im tired of fighting a fight thats not my fight
    Am                            F               D
But so is everybody else were all on the same side



     C                 D
Im young enough to be all pissed off
         G                C
But Im old enough to be jaded
     C                  D
Im of the age where I want things to change
          Bm                   Em  Dsus4
But with age my hopes have faded
     C                        D
Im young and bored of being young and bored
          B7                          Em   Dsus4
If I was old I could say Id seen it all before
    C          D            C                   D
In short Im tired and in short Im probably fired
        C                  D                      G
If the revolution doesnt want me I dont give a shit
