                           Dm*    E*   Am*
The moon is hanging in the purple sky

                          Dm*    E*   bass Dm*
Baby's sleeping while its mother sighs

E*                Am*
Talking 'bout the rich folks

                  Dm*
Rich folks have the same jokes

    E*                 Am*
And they park in basic places
[Verse]
                               Dm*     E*    Am*
The priest is preaching from a shallow grave

                             Dm*        E*    bass Dm*
He counts his money, then he paints you saved

E*                Am*
Talking to the young folks

                      Dm*
Young folks share the same jokes

         E*             Am*
But they meet in older places
[Chorus]
Dm*        E             Am* 
  So don't tell me about your success

Dm*        E              Am* 
  Nor your recipes for my happiness

Dm*        E
  Smoke in bed

        Am*
I never could digest

Dm*                   E             Am*
  Those illusions you claim to have going
[Verse]
                             Dm*    E*   Am*
The sun is shining, as it's always done

                            Dm* E*   bass Dm*
Carbon dust is the fate of everyone

E*                Am*
Talking 'bout the rich folks

                    Dm*
The poor create the rich hoax

          E*                     Am*
And only late breast-fed fools believe it
[Chorus]
Dm*        E             Am* 
  So don't tell me about your success

Dm*        E              Am* 
  Nor your recipes for my happiness

Dm*        E
  Smoke in bed

        Am*
I never could digest

Dm*                   E             Am*
  Those illusions you claim to have going
