A string of young boys on each arm

Or played guitar

Sunshine on the floor

God forsaken empty shell forgotten in a bad smell

Sa idi ma moon sa idi ma moon sa idi gris gris

Close your breath and hold your eyes

         A                                 E      A E     E     A E
Turn the corner, a surprise, and there you are
[Chorus]
          B
Well, our lives are run by ego freaks

  B
A walking book of rules he seeks

   D
To keep you in your pigeon hole

    A                                  E      A E
And bash you if your soul steps out of line

E       A  E
        C'mon
