[Estrofe]
        Am 
They've sped up to the point where they provoke 
    Am 
The punchline before they have told the joke 
    Am 
Plenty of desperation to be seen 
Am 
Staring at a television screen
[Estrofe]
        Am 
They've sped up to the point where they provoke 
                        Am 
You to tell the fucking punchline before you have told the joke 
      Am 
Well, sorry sunshine, it doesn't exist 
   Am 
It wasn't in the top 100 list
[Refrão]
             F                        E 
And it's the thousandth time and it's even bolder, 
Am 
 Don't be surprised when you get bent over 
F              E                            D# 
  They told ya, that you were gagging for it
[Estrofe]
    Am 
She saw it and she grabbed it and it wasn't what it seemed 
    Am 
The kids all dream of making it, whatever that means 
 Am 
Another variation on a theme 
                Am 
A tangle on the television and the magazine
[Estrofe]
      Am 
D'you reckon that they do it for a joke? 
      Am 
D'you reckon that they make 'em take an oath? 
               Am 
That says "we are defenders 
   Am                     Am            Am 
Of any poser or professional pretender around"
[Refrão]
N.C.              F            E 
When did your list replace the twist and turn 
       Am 
Like a fist replaced a kiss? 
           F                                           E 
Don't concern us with your bollocks. I don't want your prayers 
  
Save it for the morning after
[Solo]

             F                        E 
And it's the thousandth time and it's even bolder, 
Am 
 Don't be surprised when you get bent over 
F              E                            Am 
  They told ya, that you were gagging for it
[Outro]
F     N.C. 
Let's have a game on a Teddy Picker 
E   N.C. 
Not quick enough, can I have it quicker? 
Am   N.C.                                Am 
Already thick and you're getting thicker 
F     N.C. 
Let's have a game on a Teddy Picker 
E   N.C. 
Not quick enough, can I have it quicker? 
Am   N.C.                                D# 
Already thick and you're getting thicker 
   Am 
Presuming that all things are equal, 
Am                               E 
Who'd want to be men of the people 
                      N.C.    Am 
When there's people like you?
