[Verse 1]
Am
you want to tell me what to do
F E
but you don't even know yourself
Am
you only want to sit around
F E
count the dreams upon your shelf
Am
even though you once said before
F E
how groovy it would be
Am
all you know is all you've ever known
F E
and you learned if from TV
[Chorus]
Dm C E
beat me down cut up my face
Dm C E
take me to a better place
Dm C E
find me out and rip me up
Dm C E
Hooked on me don't give me up
[Verse 2]
Am
and you boast of useless knowledge
F E
no one needs to know
Am
and you're talking to yourself
F E
yeah you converse just for show
Am
Even though you once said before
F E
how clearly you can see
Am
all you see is what they want you to see
F E
and you learned it from TV
[Chorus]
Dm C E
beat me down cut up my face
Dm C E
take me to a better place
Dm C E
find me out and rip me up
Dm C E
on me don't give me up
[Verse 3]
Am F E
they showed me how to make love and make war
Am F E
they told me be satisfied don't ask for more
Am F E
they hold me in contempt for fighting for
Am F E
ideals what is right right at the core
[Chorus]
Dm C E
your just waiting for your turn
Dm C E
listen up and then you'll learn
Dm C E
you just want to sit around
Dm C E C E C E
until the day your in the ground... ground... ground
[Outro]
Am F E F E (x4)
