[Verse]
Cm7Back in my schooldays, acting the fool days
One and one and one is three
And the Ab6man said, "Hey, come and Abmaj7cut yourself a piece of the big time"Cm7  
Armor-clad forces, riding Trojan horses
Never made sense to me
I didn't Ab6want to be a part of the Abmaj7great debate on moonshineCm7  
[Chorus]
"Ab6Stop, pay the price,Abmaj7" they said to me
"AbTake this adviceFm7, you're out of your head"Cm7  
I said, "Ab6Stop, hold the phoneAbmaj7  
This has to be Abcut to the boneFm7  
Too bad, I see redCm7, I see red, I see red"
[Verse 2]
Cm7Sly man stumbles, twists and he tumbles
He always lands on his feet
And he Ab6sets his face toAbmaj7wards the far horizonCm7  
Cm7Won't you come this way? Can't you go that way?
But his rhythm don't miss a beat
'Cause he's Ab6doing everything he Abmaj7can to keep survivingCm7  
[Chorus]
"Ab6Stop, pay the price,Abmaj7" they said to me
"AbTake this adviceFm7, you're out of your head"Cm7  
I said, "Ab6Stop, hold the phoneAbmaj7  
This has to be Abcut to the boneFm7  
Too bad, I see redCm7, I see red, I see red"
[Chorus]
"Ab6Stop, pay the price,Abmaj7" they said to me

I said, "Ab6Stop, hold the phoneAbmaj7  
This has to be Abcut to the boneFm7  
Too bad, I see redCm7, I see red, I see red"
[Verse 2]
Cm7So who wants a riot? People should be quiet
Don't we give them good TV?
You can Ab6learn to love your Abmaj7lifetime of distractionCm7  
Cm7Nothing on the inside, nothing on the outside
All the way from A to Z
I can Ab6live without that Abmaj7kind of satisfactionCm7  
[Chorus]
"Ab6Stop, pay the price,Abmaj7" they said to me
"AbTake this adviceFm7, you're out of your head"Cm7

Back in my schooldays, acting the fool days

One and one and one is three

This has to be cut to the bone

Cm7

Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red"

[Verse 2]

Cm7

Sly man stumbles, twists and he tumbles

He always lands on his feet

Ab6 Abmaj7 Cm7

And he sets his face towards the far horizon

Cm7

Won't you come this way? Can't you go that way?

But his rhythm don't miss a beat

Ab6 Abmaj7 Cm7

'Cause he's doing everything he can to keep surviving

[Chorus]

I can live without that kind of satisfaction
