A
I've never seen but I still believe it

Too hard to think about.

I've walked around, seen the town with the crowds
C#m
With their frowns on their faces
And occasional traces of doubt

I've walked about, worked it out, pissed about
C#m
Tried to shout,
Cm
No one's listening.
Bm
It's all you your rules and fools.
D E
And it's all you and your schools their tools, then.
Lord have mercy on me

With their frowns on their faces
And occasional traces of doubt
I've walked about, worked it out, pissed about
Tried to shout,
No one's listening.
It's all you and your rules and fools.
And it's all you and your discos, your fists don't count, count.
Chorus to fade.
