[riff1]
ive always been impressed with the girl
who could sing for her supper and get breakfast as well
G               Em           D [riff1]
thats the way I am, heaven help me

[riff1]
she said we dont like peace campaigners round here
as she nailed another one to the wall
G              Em               D [riff1]
and thats the way I am heaven help me


G            A               D               G
goodbye and good luck to the promises youve broken
goodbye and good luck to the rubbish that youve spoken

G                       A            D             G
your life has lost its dignity, its beauty and its passion
G                       A              D [riff1]
youre an accident      waiting to  happen


[riff1]
there you are standing at the bar and youre
giving me grief about the DDR
          G                         Em                 D [riff1]
and that chip on your shoulder gets bigger as you get older

[riff1]
one of these nights youre gonna get caught
itll give you a pregnant pause for thought
         G         Em            D [riff1]
youre a dedicated follower of facism


G            A                    D              G
time up and time out for all the liberties youve taken
time up and time out for all the friends that youve forsaken

G                 A               D                G
if you choose to waste away like death is back in fashion
           G       A           Ds9    D   Dsus
youre an accident waiting to happen


[riff1]
my tears are so unoriginal
I have all the self loathing of a wolf in sheeps clothing
     G              Em                 D [riff1]
in this carnival of carnivores heaven help me

G            A                   D               G
goodbye and good luck to all the promises youve broken
goodbye and good luck to all the rubbish that youve spoken

G                       A            D             G
your life has lost its dignity, its beauty and its passion
G                       A              D [riff1]
youre an accident      waiting to  happen
