[F] [Bb] [C]
[F] [Bb] [C]
[F] Well, a teacher of mine once told me that life was just a list [Bb] of disappointments and defeats
[C] And you could only [Gm] do your best [F] and I said well, that's a fucking cop-out
You just washed up and you're tired [Bb] and when I get to your age, well, [Cm] I won't [Gm] be such a coward
But these days I sit at home [Bb] known to shout at my TV
[Dm] And punk rock didn't live [C] up to what I'd hoped that it could be [Gm] and all the things that I believed [Bb] with all my heart
When I was young, [Dm] it was just coasters for beers [C] and clean surfaces for drugs
[Bb] And I packed [G] all my [Bb] pamphlets with my [C] bibles at the back [F] of the shelf
Well, [Bb] [C] [F]
[Bb] [C] [F] it was bad enough, the feeling, [Fm] and the first time it hit [Bb] when you realised your parents [C] had let the world all go to shit
[F] And that the values and ideals for which many had fought and died [Bb] had been killed off in the committees
[C] And left to die by the [Gm] wayside, but it was worse when we turned [Bb] to the kids on the left
[Dm] And got let down again [C] by some poor excuse for [Gm] protest
Yeah, by idiot fucking hippies [Bb] in fifty different factions [Dm] who were locked inside some kind [C] of 60s battle reenactment
[Bb] And I hung [G] up my banner [Bb] in disgust [C] and I head [Bb] for the door
[C] [F] Oh, but once [C] we were young and we [Dm] were crass [Bb] enough to care
But [Gm] I guess you live and learn, [C] we won't make [Gm] that mistake again, [C] no
[F] Oh, but surely just [C] for one day, yeah, we [Dm] could fight [Bb] and we could win
And if [Gm] only for a little while, [C] we could [Gm] insist on the impossible
[C] [Dm] Well, we've been a good few hours drinking, [C] so I'm gonna say what everyone's thinking
[Bb] If we're stuck on this ship [F] and it's sinking, [Gm] then we might [C] as well have [F] a parade
[Dm] If it's still gonna hurt in the morning, [C] and our better plans yet get forming
[Bb] Then where's the harm [F] spending an evening [Gm] in running [C] the old [Bb] barricades?
[C]
[F] So come on, old friends, to the streets, let's be [Bb] 1905, but not [C] 1917
[F] Let's be heroes, let's be martyrs, let's be radical thinkers
[Bb] Who never have to test [C] drive the least of their dreams
[Gm] Let's divide up the world [Bb] into the damned and the slave
[Dm] And then ride to the valley [C] like the old life brigade
[Gm] And straighten our backs [Bb] and we won't be afraid
[Dm] And they'll celebrate our deaths [C] with a national parade
[F] So come on, [C] let's be young, [Dm] let's be crass [Bb] enough to care
Let's [Gm] refuse to live and learn, [C] let's make [Gm] all our mistakes again, [C] yes
[F] And then, darling, just [C] for one day, yeah, we [Dm] can fight [Bb] and we can win
But if only [Gm] for a little while, [C] we could [Gm] insist on the impossible
[C]
[F] Leave the morning to the morning, yeah, pain can be killed
[Bb] With aspirin tablets [C] and vitamin pills
[F] But memories of hope and of glorious defeat [Bb] are a little
[F] [Bb] [C]
