A               B/A
What cha doin' tonight?

A                             B/A
Well, have you heard that the world's gone crazy?

A               F#m           E
Young Americans listen when I say:

A                         B/A
There's people puttin' us down,

A                          B/A
I know they're sayin' that we've gone lazy,

D               F#m                   E
To tell you the truth, we've all seen better days.

Don't need no fast buck, lame duck, profits for fun,

C#      D    D#      E         E         A
Quick trick plans, take the money and run,

        C#     D    D#   E       E          A
We need long term, slow burn, gettin' it done,

         G                 D            A
And some straight talkin', hard rockin' son of a gun.
[Verse 2]

I got faith in our generation.

A                        F#m          E
Let's stick together and futurize our attitudes.

A                  B/A
I ain't lookin' to fight,

A                 B/A
But I know with determination,

D                    F#m                E
We can challenge the schemers who cheat all the rules.
[Bridge]
          C#     D     D#       E            A
C’mon and take pride, be wiEse spottin' the fools,

C#         D         E           A
Big shots, crackpots bendin' the rules,

  C#     D   D#    E    E          A
A fair shot here for me and for you,

Knowin' that we can't lose.

Big shots, crackpots bendin' the rules,

A fair shot here for me and for you,

F            C        D
Knowin' that we can't lose.

Rockin' the paradise tonight.
