Japanese car

Strawberry haircut, in fist-pumping prime

And leave the weaker ones behind, oh-oh

      Dm              Bb       C
They step outside to step out slow

                   Dm               Bb       C
In vain trying to find a hole they can't outgrow

Climbing toward the spots in the sun

But cold comfort flowers

                  C
Will bloom and decay

Oceanside swells

With your face in the tide

       F             C        E       F
Well, file your complaint in weary detail

     C                          E
And tell the little people you tried Oh-oh
