The way you look sometimes
       D5       F5        C5   G5
Like a trampled flag on a city street
   D5D5 x x F5F5 F5G5A5! (drum)

  I don't know how to live but I got a lot of toys
     D5        B♭5         F5         G5
  My daddy's a lazy middle-class intellectual
     D5         B♭5     F5     G5   A5 (P.M.)
  My mommy's on Valium, so ineffectual

  Ain't life a mystery, yeah?

C
Tried to tell you about no control
G
But now I really don't know
B♭                       F
And then you told me how bad you had to suffer
A
Is that really all you have to offer?

  Neurosurgeon screams for more
  Innocents raped with napalm fire
  Everything I want, I really need
