Verse 1:
F#m E D Did you ever hear a-bout The Great De-ception? A F#m Well, the plastic revolutionaries take the money and run. A F#m E D Have you ever been down to Love City? F#m E A Where they rip you off with a smile, and it don't take a gun.
Verse 2:
A F#m E D Don't it hurt so bad in Love city? A F#m Don't it make you not want to bother at all? A F#m E D And don't they look so self righteous, F#m E A When they pin you up a-gainst the wall?
Chorus 1:
E D Did you ever, ever see the people, C#m D With the tear drops in their eyes? E D I just can't stand it, stand it no how, C#m A (n.D) Living in this world of lies.
Verse 3:
F#m E D Did you ever hear a-bout the Rock and Roll singers? A F#m Got three or four Cadil-lacs. A F#m E D Saying power to the people, dance to the music; F#m E A Wants you to pat him on the back.
Verse 4:
F#m E D Have you ever heard a-bout the great Rembrandt? A F#m Have you ever heard a-bout how he could paint? A F#m E D And he didn't have e-nough money for his brushes; F#m E A And they thought it was rather quaint.
Chorus 2:
E D But you know it's no use re-peating, C#m D And you know it's no use to think about it. E D A (n.D) 'Cos when you stop to think a-bout it; you don't need it.
Verse 5:
F#m E Have you ever heard a-bout the great, D Hollywood motion picture actor, A F#m Who knew more than they did? A F#m E D And the newspapers didn't cover the story; F#m E A Just decided to keep it hid.
Verse 6:
F#m E D Somebody started saying it was an inside job; A F#m Whatever happened to him? A F#m E D Last time they saw him, down on the bow'ry; F#m E A With his lip hanging off an old rusty bottle of gin.
Verse 7:
F#m E D Have you ever heard a-bout the so-called Hippies? A F#m Down on the far side of the tracks. A F#m E D They take the eyeballs straight out of your head, F#m E A Say son, kid, do you want your eyeballs back?
Chorus 3:
E D Did you ever, ever see the people, C#m D With the tear drops in their eyes? E D I just can't stand it, stand it no how, C#m A (n.D) Living in this world of lies.
Verse 8:
F#m E D Did you ever hear a-bout The Great De-ception? A F#m Well, the plastic revolutionaries take the money and run. A F#m E D Have you ever been down to Love City? F#m E A Where they rip you off with a smile, and it don't take a gun.
