The Restaurant- Spoonboy

         A
While moonlighting in the service of the bourgois elite, 
         D                                   A
I caught lunch with a party of psuedo-environmental executives, 
          E
because I heard they'd pick up the bill.  
             A                                            D
And then the billionaire took his seat at the head of the table
                                                     A
and wiped his ass with the dignity of the polynesian waiter, 
                                      E                            A
(who had only been misheard), but was subject to abuse.  And I got caught.  

A D A E A D A E

          A
And I got caught.  I was caught in a crisis of procedure, 
       D
what I knew but forgot in the comforts of leisure, 
     A
on review of the charts, all the facts and the figures: 
     E
ONLY LACK OF RECOGNITION WILL DISCREDIT OUR LEADERS.  
        A                                            D
And the conflict lies on you: all the waiters of the world please spit in the soup, 
               A                              E
and the billionaires might finally get what's coming.  
             A
When the dishwashers of the world all mouth off to their boss, 
         D
then the latter that they build that they started on top 
      A                                      E
might fall because it rests on you.  and the shit that you go through 
              Bm D A E Bm D A E
just to stay alive.  
Bm          D                              A
1000 miles away, another conflict I'd been through 
                           E                           Bm
about the innocence of the criminal when the victim is you.  
                    D     A              E                  A
and the tendency to justify a law that's flawed.  and I got caught.  

I was caught in the crisis of my company.  
       D
What I knew, they did not, but I guess there's always something.  
            A                                                         E
There was a girl and a cop, and they wouldn't even talk to me.  I got caught.  
        A
And the conflict lies on you, 
                       D
all the waiters of the world please spit in the soup.  
               A                              E
and punk kids, please think about what you're doing.  
             A
When the dishwashers of the world all mouth off to their boss, 
         D
then the latter that they built, it might finally fall, 
            A
because you know it all rests on you, 
        E                                     Bm D A
and the shit that you go through just to stay alive.
