The mayor hides the crime rate, council woman hesitates

E                  A
Public gets irate, but forget the vote date

E                           A
Weather man complainin', predicted sun, it's raining

E                      A
Everyone's protesting, boyfriend keeps suggesting

F#        B                    E
you're not like all of the rest

E                        A
Garbage ain't collected, women ain't protected

Politicians using, people they're abusing

E                                A
The mafia's getting bigger, like pollution in the river

F#                   B                  E
And you tell me that this is where it's at

A
Woke I this morning with an ache in my head

B7
But all I heard was the establishment blues

E                      A
Gun sales are soaring, housewives find life borin'

E                        A
Divorce the only answer, smoking causes cancer

E                                   A
The system's gonna fall soon, to an angry young tune

F#  B                      E
And that's a concrete cold fact!

E                         A

F#       B                  E
Spinster sells her hopeless chest

E                           A
Adultery plays the kitchen, bigot cops non-fiction

E                        A
Little man gets shafted, sons and monies drafted

E                       A
Living by a time piece, new war in the far east

F#      B                  E
Can you pass the Rorschach test

A                                           B7
It's a hassle, it's an educated guess, well frankly I couldn't care less
