Intro: Dm--, Dm-- - C-- x2



Verse 1:
                D5
You got the look
                C5
but not the credit
                   A5
They wrote the book
               D5
on how to sell it
               D5
From cigarettes
               C5
to skinny jeans
              A5
You got the money
                  D5
they got the means


Refrain 1:
       G5
Oh you upper class daughters
    D5
and working class sons
     G5
It's hard to save a dollar
    D5
the way the world runs
           G5
You're the target market
     D5
of a corporate joke
   C5
It won't be so ironic
          A5
when your daddy is broke


Chorus 1:
   D5            F5
Surprise surprise
   C5             F5
surprise surprise
       A5
You're much better 
looking when you're
D5
in disguise
   D5            F5
Surprise surprise
   C5             F5
surprise surprise
    A5
And this revolution
         G5
has been brought to you by


Post Chorus: Dm---C-


Verse 2:
               D5
Just gotta stop
             C5
so you can mimic
               A5
The tortured honest
             D5
the gyn is cynic
              D5
The latest gadget
             C5
is just a gimmick
           A5
Another sucker
             D5
born every minute
         D5
Well I'm sick of this 
     C5
town bringing me down
  A5
A vast world epidemic 
D5
all around
   D5
I'm sick of this town
C5
bringing me down
  A5
A lost generation 
          D5
trying to act profound


Refrain 2:
       G5
Oh you upper class daughters
    D5
and working class sons
     G5
It's hard to save a dollar
    D5
the way the world runs
         G5
We got a counterculture 
        D5
you can buy of a shelf
          C5
If you're losing your 
            A5
identity to somebody else


(Repeat Chorus 1)


Chorus 2:
D5
Those who seek to
F5     C5            F5
think we don't care
    A5
And those who seek
         D5
to think we're not aware
   D5            F5
Surprise surprise
   C5             F5
surprise surprise
       A5
You're much better 
looking when you're
G5
in disguise


Guitar Solo: D5 - A5 - G5 - Dm- x2

While Ian sing these lines:

Call the ranks
Call the ranks
Call the ranks


Refrain 3:
       G5
Oh you upper class daughters
    D5
and working class sons
     G5
It's hard to save a dollar
    D5
the way the world runs
          G5
We're the target market 
     D5
of a corporate hoax
    C5
Our generation is 
  A5
a fucking joke


(Repeat Chorus 1)
(Repeat Chorus 2)
