Zounds - Can't Cheat Karma (classic first single by the anarcho punk band!)
(Spoken)
One, two, three, go
I've got an ego
It won't let me go
And what am I gonna do?
(Strum)E & drums enter
A,B,C,D
Paranoia's killing me
I'm dying on my aching feet
What a way to go
Roll up, roll up
People always stroll up
Say, "Why don't you grow up?"
No, thank you
Big cats, small cats
Some cats are fat cats
Those cats are bad cats
What we gonna do?
E  x 4 bars
n.c.                                                         C     G      D  E  
There's an awful lot of people in the world today
There's an awful lot of trouble on the streets these days
And it doesn't seem to matter what you do or say
If a change is gonna happen, got to help it on its way
AA change is gonna come before too long, I knowE  
Peace has gotta come along, could be wrong, I know
      C          G       D(stop)
But I just don't know       what I can do
E  x 2 bars
n.c.                                                    C     G     D  E  
You don't trust me and I don't trust you
I bet you wish you did and I know I do
Why have you got secrets? 'Cause I know you have
If you've got something to hide then it must be bad
AA change is gonna come before too long, I knowE  
Peace has gotta come along, could be wrong, I know
      C          G        D(stop)
But I just don't know         what I can do
E x 2 bars
n.c.                                                   C      G      D  E  
You don't trust me and I don't trust you
I bet you wish you did and I know I do
Why have you got secrets? 'Cause I know you have
If you've got something to hide then it must be bad
AA change is gonna come before too long, I knowE  
Peace has gotta come along, could be wrong, I know
      C         G      D(stop)
But I just don't             know what I can do
