[Intro]
G  (Acoustic version use walk down fill D-C-B-G)
[Verse 1]
N.C.              G  
Let's inherit the earth
Cos no-one else is Cadd9taking it
Come on do your Gworst
Before the moment's Dpassed
In bedrooms across GEngland
And all the western Cadd9world
There's posters and there's Gmagazines
But music isn't D7ours
[Chorus]
Cos we write Clove songs in C
And we do Gpolitics in DG
We sing Csongs about our friends in e EmminorD  
So Ctear down the stars now and Gtake up your Dguitars
And Ccome on folks and Dtry this at GhoDmeG  
[Verse 2]
N.C.                G  
Let's stop waiting around
For someone to patroCadd9nise us
Let's hammer out a Gsound 
That speaks of where we've Dbeen
Forget about the Ghaircuts 
And stupid skinny Cadd9jeans
The stampedes and the Girony 
And the media-fed D7scenes
[Chorus]
Cos we write Clove songs in C
And we do Gpolitics in DG
We sing Csongs about our friends in e EmminorD  
So Ctear down the stars now and Gtake up your Dguitars
And Ccome on folks and Dtry this at Dhome
[Bridge]
Because the Emonly thing that Dpunk rock should Cever really Gmean
Is not Amsitting round and G/Bwaiting for the Clights to go Dgreen
And not Emthinking that you're Dbetter cause you're Cstood up on a Gstage
And if you're Amoh so fucking G/Bdifferent then who Ccares what you have to Dsay
Cause theres Amno such thing as rock stars
They're just Dpeople who play music
And Csome of them are C/Bjust like us
And Gsome of them are dicks
So Amquick turn off your stereo
Pick Dup that pen and paper
Yeah Cyou could do much better than 
Some skinny half-arsed English country DsingerD7  
[Chorus]
Cos we write Clove songs in C
And we do Gpolitics in DG
We sing Csongs about our friends in e EmminorD  
So Ctear down the stars now and Gtake up your Dguitars
And Ccome on folks and Dtry this at ChomC/BeG
