As recorded by the Manic Street Preachers (From the 1990 EP NEW ART RIOT E.P.) [Intro] A C G D A C G D A C G [Verse 1]
D                   A
Ain't no fun at the government hall

C                           G
Slicked back injustice sits nicely next to smiles

    D                    A
Paranoia at the heels of too much greed

C                           G
Obedience an art form while the sad bleed
[Chorus]
  D              Bm            A            G
Success and love dictate while skin touches fashion

   D        Bm         A       G
Consumerism beauty for cheap appeal

D                       G         A
I don't wanna dance for people to watch

C                  G                A
Smother my life in interest accounts
[Interlude] D A C G D A C G [Verse 2]
D                        A
Outside life brings down genocide

    C                           G
And consumer self-hate leads to designer bullshit

D               A
Hate is art and we steal cars

C                       G
Decaying flowers in the playground of the rich
[Chorus]
               Bm          A        G
You can launch sweetly and say nice things

    D            A          G
But I ain't ever on the way up

   D           Em        G                   A
My only way is down on disease that tries to suffocate

C                    G           A
The pure ideals that turn to hate
[Interlude] D F# G Em D F# G Em
D            F#  G  Em
Strip it down
[Outro-Guitar Solo] D F# G Em D A G D A G D Em G A C G A D
