Intro
Verse chords
Well a teacher of mine once told me
That life was just a list of
disappoints and defeats
And you could
only do your best,
And I said
"That's a fucking cop-out, you're just washed up and your tired, and when
I get to your age I
won't be such a coward"
But these
days I sit at home, known to
shout at my TVAnd
Punk Rock didn't live up to what I
hoped that it could be
And all the
things that I believed with all my
heart when I was young
Are just
coasters for beers and clean
surfaces for drugs
And I
packed all my
pamflets with my
bibles at the
back of the
shelf

(SAME CHORDS)
EXCEPT FOR LAST LINE -
Hung up my
Banner in
Disgust and I
Head for the
Door
Chorus
Oh but
once we were
young, and we were
Bm crass enough to
care
But I guess you
live and learn
we won't make that
mistake again,
no
Oh but
surely just for one
day, we could
fight and we could
win
And if only for a
little while,
we could insist on the
impossible
Bridge
Well we've
been a good few hours drinking so I'm going to
say what everyone's thinkng If we're
Stuck on this ship and it's
sinking then we
Might as well
Have
Parade
Cos if it's
Still going to hurt in the morning and a
Better plan's yet to get forming Then
Wheres the harm in spending an
Evening in
Manning the
Old barri-
