Chords in this song · guitar

F G Em Am

I would be a liar if I pretended I admire

F G C

The red-light windscreen-cleaning empire that you’ve built.

F G Em Am

But my heart is good it’s not a thing of stone and wood

F G C

I’ll give you 50 cents to take away my guilt.

C G Am Em

I give money to folk who just don’t have enough,

Am Em F

To try to justify the future purchases of stuff

G C G

That I don’t need.

C G Am Em

I know that one less Vodka Cranberry tonight

Am Em F

Could probably feed some foreign family for a fortnight,

G F

But I might just have one more.

After all what is Vodka for

F G C

Apart from making you want to shag your best mate’s wife,

F G C

And drowning out the guilt you feel about your perfect life?

C G Am Em

Fuck the poor, what is all this hoo-ha for?

Am Em F G

There’s only one reason I’ll phone 1800 034 034

F Em

It’s the force behind Teresa and the school that Oprah built,

F G C

I’ll give you 50 bucks to take away my guilt.
