As recorded by The Clash (From the 1977 Album THE CLASH) [Intro] D E D E D E [Verse 1]
      A                D
I get violent when I'm fucked up

      A               D
I get silent when I'm drugged up

       A               D              E
Want excitement, don't get none, I go wild

A            D
I don't know what can be done about it

A                        D
If you play the game you get nothing out of it

A                     D                 E  D  C# A
Find out for yourself try bein' a goody goody
[Chorus]
          C
You better cheat cheat

   F
No reason to play fair

G              Am
Cheat cheat or don't get anywhere

C              D
Cheat cheat if you can't win
[Interlude] E D C# A E A E A E5 [Verse 2]
A            D
Nobody knows what they are doing

     A                        D
It's beyond your control, an' friday night's a ruin

       A                 D                   E  D  C# A 
If you wanna survive you better learn how to lie
[Chorus]
          C
You better cheat cheat

   F
No reason to play fair

G              Am
Cheat cheat or don't get anywhere

C              D            E
Cheat cheat if you can't win
[Bridge]
B     A  E
Don't use the rules

B               A            E
They're not for you, they're for the fools

B                 A
And you're a fool if you don't know that

B                   E
So use the rule you stupid fool
