This is simplified version, I just worked it out on ukulele, and it's probably not 
perfect, but it sounds resonably close to the song.
FmNothing is crueler than Ebchildren who come from good Bbhomes
FmGod'll forgive them I guEbess but whose side are you oBbn
FmDriving around the old tEbown I remember it allBb  
FmDropping my lunchbox and Ebtampax all over the hallBb  
(And they said)
CmYou are a socialist Bbcokehead we know from your Dbclothes
CmYou are a Satanist Bbworshipper of things Dbevil
CmThink you're a poet a Bbfolksinger poseur nahDb-oh
CmA volleyball player you've Bbgot to be kidding us Dball
EbSo we hide from the Abguns on our Ebnight reconnaiAbssance
EbSteal flamingos and Abgnomes from the Ebdark side of the Ablawn
FmNo-one can stop us the sEbcript is a work of geBbnius
FmNo-one has bought the rights Ebyet but we're not giving Bbup
FmEvery unwanted Eblawn jockey fits in the Bbscript
