These Are The Days - Will Varley
[Verse 1]
EmSTIs are rife in children,
GEither guns or sex will kill them,
And Cif they make it to their 20s,
They'll Dprobably have type-2 diabetes
[Verse 2]
EmLocals cutting down the trees
GFor free papers no one reads
CIllegal wars that sow the seeds of
DSo called democracy
[Verse 3]
EmBut if they took Afghanistan 
in rGetaliation of the towers,
CTell me Mr Leader Man, 
Why are the pDoppies still in flower?
[Verse 4]
 EmTV shows that make the music
GElectric cars that no-one uses
CLeona Lewis still in my head
At Dleast top of the pops is dead
[Chorus 1]
Well, Emthese are the dGays and we hCear it every day
Then they wEmonder why we bGinge drink.C  
[Verse 5]
EmIce caps melt away
GShores are rising in the bay
CShares are falling every day
And the Dprice of beer is how we pay
[Verse 6]
EmKids buying skinny jeans
And a Gbest of The Libertines
CTrading in their drum n bass
For the nDext big band on the fly front page
[Verse 7]
EmKids can't communicate
GSpelling later with a number eight,
CLet's have chips and lard for dinner,
DJamie Oliver make me thinner
[Verse 8]
EmPolitics like Jerry Springer,
GShout the loudest and you're the winner,
CThe church is empty so we're all sinners,
DBut I think hell sounds quite appealing
[Chorus 2]
Well, Emthese are the dGays and we hCear it every day
Then they wEmonder why we bGinge drink.C  
[Verse 9]
EmAnd with bodies still fresh in the ditches,
GBlair goes home to spend his riches
CNow lets welcome in the Tories
DI wasn't alive but I've heard the stories
[Verse 10]
EmAnd the cost of living soars and soars,
GLike some filthy joke,
CAnd you'd think that they'd stop starting wars,
DBefore they tell us where to smoke
[Chorus 3]
Well, Emthese are the dGays and we hCear it every day
Then they wEmonder why we bGinge drink.C  
Well, Emthese are the dGays and we hCear it every day
Then they wEmonder why we bGinge drink.C

These Are The Days - Will Varley

[Verse 1]

STIs are rife in children,

Either guns or sex will kill them,

And if they make it to their 20s,

They'll probably have type-2 diabetes

[Verse 2]

Locals cutting down the trees

For free papers no one reads

Illegal wars that sow the seeds of

So called democracy

[Verse 3]

But if they took Afghanistan

in retaliation of the towers,

Tell me Mr Leader Man,

Why are the poppies still in flower?

[Verse 4]

TV shows that make the music

Electric cars that no-one uses

Leona Lewis still in my head

At least top of the pops is dead

[Chorus 1]

Em G C

Well, these are the days and we hear it every day

Em G C

Then they wonder why we binge drink.

[Verse 5]

Ice caps melt away

Shores are rising in the bay

Shares are falling every day

And the price of beer is how we pay

[Verse 6]

Kids buying skinny jeans

And a best of The Libertines

Trading in their drum n bass

For the next big band on the fly front page

[Verse 7]

Kids can't communicate

Spelling later with a number eight,

Let's have chips and lard for dinner,

Jamie Oliver make me thinner

[Verse 8]

Politics like Jerry Springer,

Shout the loudest and you're the winner,

The church is empty so we're all sinners,

But I think hell sounds quite appealing

[Chorus 2]

Em G C

Well, these are the days and we hear it every day

Em G C

Then they wonder why we binge drink.

[Verse 9]

And with bodies still fresh in the ditches,

Blair goes home to spend his riches

Now lets welcome in the Tories

I wasn't alive but I've heard the stories

[Verse 10]

And the cost of living soars and soars,

Like some filthy joke,

And you'd think that they'd stop starting wars,

Before they tell us where to smoke

[Chorus 3]

Em G C

Well, these are the days and we hear it every day

Em G C

Then they wonder why we binge drink.

Em G C

Well, these are the days and we hear it every day

Em G C

Then they wonder why we binge drink.
