lyrics

Dmi
pee in a cup
pay yr rent
G Dm
hope you dont get sick
Dm
close yr eyes
enjoy the taste
G Dm
of every boot you lick


Chorus
Am
it’s easier to get by
C G Am
than it is to think about how hard it is to get by
Dm Am
it’s ok if you can only keep yr head down and survive
C G
but when and if you can
Am
please fight back

Dmi
steal from yr boss
throw shit at cops
shoplift a can of paint
vote, or don’t
but either way
don’t pretend you’re a saint

Chorus

Bridge
C F
Are you poor, forlorn and hungry?
C G
Are there lots of things you lack?
C F
Is your life made up of misery?
G C
Then dump the bosses off your back.
C F
Are your clothes all patched and tattered?
C G
Are you living in a shack?
C F
Would you have your troubles scattered?
G C
Then dump the bosses off your back.



if all you need
is three chords and the truth
they’ll give you two and a lie
keep settling for less
and doing your best
for the boss till one day you die

chorus
