By Adam Blackburne
(Some lyrics are missing/incorrect)
C#5
I'll never dance with a Sycophant
Bb5 G#5
I'd rather entertain disdain
C#5 Bb5 G#5
from someone who I love, at least you know where you stand,
C#5
you'll never understand
C#/G#5 x2
C#5 Bb5
Keep your eyes on your own work son, do your homework son
G#5 C#5
you'll never be undone
Bb5 G#5
we're like a father and a son we will never be undone
C#/G#5 x2
I'll ask you;
Bb5
are my clothes alright?
F5
Is my hair alright?
F#5 G#5
You can say what you want cos its what we like
Bb5 F5
we are judged on everything single thing we do
F#5 G#5
we could not care less cos we are us not you
C#5
you say you're clued up i think you're glued up
Bb5 G#5 C#5
You're seen everywhere in town, but you're never with a friend
Bb5 G#5 C#5
you know everybodys name, you're the king of pretend
C#/G#5
C#5
The proofs in the pudding, and the gigs,
Bb5 G#5
you've not even been to Woolworths to buy your mix
C#5
You flirt with the weather a kneeling knave?
Bb5 G#5
Billy Shakespeare would be spinning in his grave
Bb5
are my clothes alright?
F5
Is my hair alright?
F#5 G#5
You can say what you want cos its what we like
Bb5 F5
we are judged on everything single thing we do
F#5 G#5
we could not care less cos we are us not you
C#5
you say you're clued up i think you're glued up
Bb5 G#5 C#5
You're seen everywhere in town, but you're never with a friend
Bb5 G#5 C#5
you know everybodys name, you're the king of pretend
Bb5
are my clothes alright?
F5
Is my hair alright?
F#5 G#5
You can say what you want cos its what we like
Bb5 F5
we are judged on everything single thing we do
F#5 G#5
we could not care less cos we are us not you
C#5
you say you're clued up i think you're glued up
Bb5 G#5 C#5
You're seen everywhere in town, but you're never with a friend
Bb5 G#5 C#5

C#5 Bb5
You'd rather dance with a Sycophant how do you sleep
G#5 C#5
How do you get Up Get Fucked
