Gm7            Cm7 Gm7      Cm7  Gm7
Some folks try to  multiply from sunrise to sunset

Gm7          Cm7  Gm7           Cm7 Gm7
Leave behind more of their kind so  no one will forget

               Cm7       F#dim Eb  Bbmaj7 F  Bbmaj7     Bb   Cm7         Fm7  Bb7 Bbmaj7
But that ain't where I'm com - ing from   to-day, those easy girls don't turn me  on anyway

I wanna know where my pride has gone the party's over, caught in a dream in-side this world ma-chine

Gm7            Cm7 Gm7              Cm7 Gm7
Teachers teach and preachers preach of  spiritual evolution

Gm7               Cm7  Gm7        Cm7  Gm7
But this big I am from uncle sham just adds to my confusion

              Cm7       F#dim Eb  Bbmaj7 F  Bbmaj7   Bb      Cm7       Fm7  Bb7  Bbmaj7
I've seen his face I've heard his song   be-fore but I don't care what time he's on anymore

            Cm7         F#dim   Eb  Bbmaj7                 Bb                   Ebm7               Bb
I must have been on the streets too long the party's over, caught in a dream in-side this world ma-chine
[Chorus]
C7                                                         Em7
I find myself outside your door, trying to make it like be-fore but you dont follow what I say

          F            C               Em7      Bm7         Bb
And I can tell by your smile you're no longer a child, that part of you was buried yesterday

Gm7* Gm6            Gm7*                Gm6                 Gm
Who  knows why they come and where they go in this world ma-chine
[Verse]
Gm7                   Cm7 Gm7            Cm7  Gm7
It's the chosen fools who make the rules that don't apply to me

Gm7                       Cm7 Gm7            Cm7 Gm7
With their fast car games and counter claims not my reality

           Cm7     F#dim Eb   Bbmaj7 F    Bbmaj7  Bb         Cm7    Fm7     Bb7  Bbmaj7
And I dont know if I     be - long   to - day   I don't know why my friends have gone away

            Cm7         F#dim   Eb  Bbmaj7                 Bb                   Ebm7 Ebm  Ebm7  Ebm6 Bb
I must have been on the streets too long the party's over, caught in a dream in-side this world ma - chine

Em           C      C7  Bb    Gm            C      C7

Don't knock the system           We'll knock some sense in     you

Bb                    C  Em7 C  Edim    F       G7  G9  C7  Cm7  F7  Bb
Can't beat the system           There's nothing you can do
