F C Holy smokes G Dm Am You kids and your jokes F C G Am Asking where we got our jeans and where the hell we found our coats F C G Dm Am 'Cause dirty streets these days are graced by Nikes of black and green F C G And headstrong boys in chinos barely grasp what that could mean
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Am C And they lie, the men that wrung us dry G D The boys who poked your eye E/F Am C G The common fool, the walk to school for you and I
[Chorus]
F C G But we've been held back for after-school meetings Dm Am F They've got it in for me C For all it's worth G Am The key to life on Earth F C G The thing is, these out-of-touch scrounging rich kids Dm Am F Are living here for free C On my home turf G Am The key to life on Earth

F C G Call in to wake you up in the morning Dm Am F C G Iron your suit and tie forever until you die F C G Dm Am F Join forces, like carousels and their horses forever spinning 'round C G Am And never coming down
[Outro]
F C Come out and join us honey, we will sort you out G Dm Am Come work in Brookfield Park and we will shut your mouth F C Come work in Sainsbury's babe until you've had enough G Dm Am Come on out, come on out, come on out, come on out F C Come out and join us honey, we will sort you out G Dm Am Come work in Brookfield Park and we will shut your mouth F C Come work in Sainsbury's babe until you've had enough G Dm Am Come on out, come on out, come on out, come on out
