Intro: Am Am E Am


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

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

               F                       E
And it's the thousandth time and it's even bolder,
Am
Don't be surprised when you get bent over,
F           E                           Eb 
He told ya, that you were gagging for it

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

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

Save it for the morning after


Solo: Am


             F                        E
And it's the thousandth time and it's even bolder,
Am
Don't be surprised when you get bent over,
F            E                          Am

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