Redgum - Critique in G
From the Album: If you don't fight you lose

One of my favourite songs from an underrated band! 
The chords are easy, however the timing is fast.

Intro

G C G C G D G 

Verse 1
G                               C              G                 C
 There's a bastard called the economy and it keeps poor people poor 
            Em                Am          C              D
 While the fat cats with the money go on making more and more 
           C               G          C               G  
 They've wrapped him in bandages to hide his gaping sores
 Em           Am                  C             G   
 So we can't see that he's just rotten to the core 
              C               D                        Em        C
 Oh they've pumped him with medicine perscribed by good old Dr Keynes 
      G              D                C                  G  C G C G D G
 No matter what they do we all get ripped off just the same 

Verse 2

 The liberals slugged us twenty-three years until we'd had enough 
 Everyone got sick of them so brought in uncle Gough 
 Then he got sacked now Malcolm's back 
 The neighbour of Nareen 
 Got the biggest election that Tammy's ever seen 
 Oh it doesn't matter who's in power cause it's a crooked game 
 It's a sure bet we will all get ripped off just the same 

 The economy's a mad machine which no one can control 
 Fat cats fight for the driver's seat but the steering wheel's been sold 
 To the yanks and other foreigners who'll give it a dizzy spin 
 Any time they feel their ripped off pockets getting thin 
 Oh a little touch of makeup it's such a goddamn shame 
 It's a sure bet we will all get ripped off just the same 

 Oh there's no two ways about it if we all don't force a change 
 It goes on and on and we get ripped off just the same
