lyrics

F#m
pee in a cup pay yr rent
B F#m
pray that you dont get sick
F#m
close yr eyes enjoy the taste
B F#m
of every boot you lick

C#m
it’s easier to get by
E B C#m
than it is to think about how hard it is to get by
F#m C#m
it’s ok if you can only keep yr head down and survive
E B
but when and if you can
C#m
please fight back

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

E A
Are you poor, forlorn and hungry?
E B (7)
Are there lots of things you lack?
E A
Is your life made up of misery?
(A#) B7 E
Then dump the bosses off your back.

Are your clothes all patched and tattered?
Are you living in a shack?
Would you have your troubles scattered?
Then dump the bosses off your back.

cuz 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
