[F]
[G] He speaks [F] with his terrible [D] stammer [G] so [F] we don't have nothing to say [D]
[G] but he [F] can spit further than
[D] any poet [G] so [F] nobody gets in his way.
[D]
He [F] knows his generation like he [D] knows his ABC.
The [F] kind of gear that don't get a lot of [D] facts.
[G] He's the face [F] in the mirror [C] but he
makes it [D] look right when [G] he's all right.
[F] [D]
[G] [F] Breaking out of nowhere, [D]
[G] [F] breaking all the [D] rules.
[G] He's [F] got this passion [G] for the fashion.
[D]
[G] [F] He's freezing [G] all the cool.
[D]
[G] He knows [F] you're gonna have to be [C] that good to be real [D]
fast.
[G] Buildin' [F] a speed guaranteed to show [D] you where it's at.
[G] Lovin' [D] on a speaker that's making his own noise.
One [G] of the boys.
[F]
[G] Get it.

[G] [D]
[C#]
[A#] [F] [G]
[F] He used to work in [A] a factory [D]
but the [F] meatball said that's [D] enough.
[G] So he threw [F] down his hammer, [D] picked up his [G] poke, told the boss to get it.
[F] Frustration, [D] elimination,
[G] the [F] news is always bad.
[D]
[G] Life [F] on the dole ain't [G] no good for your [D]
soul.
[G] It's enough to [F] drive a poor [G] kid [D] mad.
[G] So [F] who's gonna put in [G] now for making a [D] noise?
One of the boys.
[F]
He's one of the boys.
A real McCoy.
One of the boys.
[G] Get it.
