[Verse 1]
N.C.
Oh get down, getting down so much money in the ground
N.C.
For the people that don't deserve it now
Am D G6 D
N.C.
It's a circus we're the clowns as the giant ones disown
N.C.
Every bit of something we call home
Am D G* D

N.C.
Said it's a pity 'bout the middle class Holden mass
N.C.
We get a bit to play around with doesn't really matter
N.C.
They kid us with their dole, kid us with the dope
N.C.
But generally speaking, nobody's got a hope
N.C.
We're playing the music of the middle-aged queens
N.C.
Getting fatter and fatter and splitting their jeans
N.C.
It's all the same, we're out in the cold
N.C.
The good ones died, the others just got old
[Chorus]
AmEverything's set, Geverything's fine
You've Emjust got to stand in lineAm C D
AmEverything's set, Geverything's fine
You've Emjust got to stand in lineAm C D

Everybody's beaten, everybody's down,
N.C.
Oh everybody's down
N.C.
So goodbye to the creeps who are making it
N.C.
Goodbye to the let it happen stand
N.C.
I'm moving out got no doubt they've forgotten twist 'n' shout
N.C.
They never ever listen to the man
