[Intro]
| Am | Am | Am | Am |
| E | E | Am | Am
[Verse]
Am
They've sped up to the point where they provoke
Am
The punchline before they have told the joke
Am
Plenty of desperation to be seen
Am
Staring at a television screen
Am
They've sped up to the point where they provoke
Am
You to tell the fucking punchline before you have told the joke
Am
Well, sorry sunshine, it doesn't exist
Am
It wasn't in the top 100 list
[Chorus]
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 D#
They told ya, that you were gagging for it
[Verse]
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 Am
Of any poser or professional pretender around"
[Chorus]
N.C. F E
When did your list replace the twist and turn
Am
Like a fist replaced a kiss?
F E
Don't concern us with your bollocks. I don't want your prayers
Save it for the morning after
[Solo]
Am
[Chorus]
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
They told ya, that you were gagging for it
[Outro]
F N.C.
Let's have a game on a Teddy Picker
E N.C.
Not quick enough, can I have it quicker?
Am N.C. Am
Already thick and you're getting thicker
F N.C.
Let's have a game on a Teddy Picker
E N.C.
Not quick enough, can I have it quicker?
Am N.C. D#
Already thick and you're getting thicker
Am
Presuming that all things are equal,
Am E
Who'd want to be men of the people
N.C. Am
When there's people like you?
