I'm sick of [Am]working for a living
I'm just [E]ticking off the days till I die
Oh, I miss you Lou[Dm]ise, yeah...
And the [F]sickest little pleasures keep me going in between pulling teeth

Oh periscope up
I've been looking for a ladder
I need to see the commander in chief
And remind him what was passed onto me

Your [Am] mum don't sleep!
And the [E] friends you keep!
I didn't [Dm] raise a thief! [Am]
I didn't [E] raise a thief!

But the Dmileaders of the free world
Are [C] just little boys throwing [E] stones
And it's [Dm] easy to ignore
Till they're [C] knocking on the door of your [E] homes

[SOLO]

My [Am]thinking isn't driven
But the [E]music always gives me a lift
I'm so easy to [Dm]please, yeah
But I think we [F]dropped the baton like the 60's didn't happen, oh no!

Oh periscope up
Should be looking for a ladder
I need to see the commander in chief
And remind him what was passed onto me

Your [Am] mum don't sleep!
And the [E] friends you keep!
I didn't [Dm] raise a thief! [Am]
I didn't [E] raise a thief!

But the [Dm] leaders of the free world
Are [C] just little boys throwing [E] stones
And it's [Dm] easy to ignore
Till they're k [C] nocking on the door of your [E] homes 2x

[Am] Passing the gun from father to feckless [E] son
We're [Dm] climbing a landslide where only the good die [F] young 2x
