Listen to the song for the strum patterns
[Intro]
E A E E
[Verse]
E A E
They'll lock you up if you don't play by the rules
E A E
Twist it out and beat it out of you in a padded room
[Chorus]
C#m A B E
So what do you do with a council full of charlatans
C#m A B E
Pounding on the table with their dirty hands?
C#m A B E
This ain't an excuse, no it's just self-defense
C#m A B
Spit it out, spit it out, come on and let it go
[Intro]
E A E E (x2)
[Verse]
E A E
They don't want no one to drive electric cars
E A E
Spending all the money building rockets that can shoot down all the stars
[Chorus]
C#m A B E
So what do you do with a council full of charlatans
C#m A B E
Pounding on the table with their dirty hands?
C#m A B E
This ain't an excuse, no it's just self-defense
C#m A B
Spit it out, spit it out, come on and let it go
[Bridge]
E A (x8)
C#m A B B (x2)
[Chorus]
C#m A B E
So what do you do with a council full of charlatans
C#m A B E
Pounding on the table with their dirty hands?
C#m A B E
This ain't an excuse, no it's just self-defense
C#m A B
Spit it out, spit it out, come on and let it go
[Outro]
E A E
I'm against the government
E A E
Anti-establishment
E A E
And I love subversive elements
E A E
Might not ever be the president, oh no
[Outro]
