[Bb] [C]
[G] Whatever [A]
happened to the funky [Bb] race?
A generation [C]
lost in [G] pace?
Wasn't life [F] supposed to be more than [Bb] this?
In this kiss, [C] I'll change your bow for my [G] bliss
Click on my hand and it [F] will slip from the sand
[Bb] If you don't give me the chance to [C] break down the walls of attitude
[G] I [A] ask nothing of you
[Bb] Not even your [C]
gratitude
[Bb] And if you think I'm corny then [C] it will not make me sorry

[Bb] For a couple of years, [C] as it drenched my face
[G] Of becoming like the others, [F] who become unhappy mothers
[Bb] And fathers of unhappy [C] kids
And why's that?
Cause [Bb] they've forgotten how to play
[C]
Or maybe [Dm] they're afraid to feel [F] ashamed
To seem [Bb] strange, to seem [C] insane
To gain weight, to [Dm] seem gay
I tell you [F] this

Dropping like a [G] peacock
Native on a shark and [F] saw
Shimmy shammy feather [Bb] ball
Crackpot, hair cut [C] style
Herring glowing [D] red [Bb] and blue
Do, do, [C] do
What you [C] wanna [Dm] do
Don't be twice [F] due
