Standard (EADGBE)

  Been living in the city too long now

  Even my lungs have started to groan

  Everybody is singing their own song

  Sometimes I want to sing alone

  Never been a prima donna

  I never seem to want to be the one to complain

  Enough's too much and now I'm a goner

  Stop the madness scene before it drives me insane

  Take me where the sun won't shine on me

  Take me where my conscience won't go now

  Take me where the sun won't shine - on me

  Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to know

  Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to know

  Everyone around this town is so angry now

  Blaring horns and swearing; shaking fists

  If everybody in the world was a hit man

  We'd wipe each other off each other's hit lists

  Who wants to stand and be counted

  Or anger every man until there's lines on your face, now

  I don't want to be the one to start the shouting

  I'm part of this society and I know my place

  Take me where the sun won't shine on me

  Take me where my conscience won't go now

  Take me where the sun won't shine - on me

  Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to know

  Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to know

  Everything around this town is so boring

Well nothing changes; Nothing doesn't stay the same

  Ten years when we had high ideals

We couldn't wait to play the protest game

  But now we have our thing together

  Our brand new leathers, three bank accounts

  Who cares about the starving millions

  We're just happy that our cheques don't bounce

  Take me where the sun won't shine on me

  Take me where my conscience won't go now

  Take me where the sun won't shine - on me

  Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to know

  Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to ...

  No, Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to know

Notes

~~~~~

1. I'm not too sure about the lyrics (thanks to Alan Pulliam for supplying

them, BTW). I had completely the wrong idea originally in a few places

and I've listened carefully and made one or two minor changes to them,

but I'm still unsure of a few bits:

Stop the madness scene before it drives me insane

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Or anger every man until there's lines on your face, now

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

^especially this bit^

Our brand new leathers, three bank accounts

^^^^^^^^

Here, Alan reckons it's probably `Lotus'

4. The licks in this song are pretty easy, so I haven't included them in

the CRD.
