play that on one guitar while other plays G, C (x3) D

Verse:

G
expensive vitamin pills and wheat germ on your windowsill
D
your schedule's hectic and you got no time to kill
G
you're earning money and spending it the right way
D
you're in such a rush you don't know if it's night or day
C
5:30 get up and you run, run, run
D
then you work 8 hours slaving under the gun
C
your little world's based on lies lies lies
D      D                  D     D     D D D
always rushing but you're never ever satisfied

CHORUS:

G                      C              D
healthy body sick mind you're working overtime
(same chords)
healthy body sick mind too hectic, too hectic
healthy body sick mind ??????? (the lyrics are screwed up here)

G           C              D
it's just a matter of time sick body sick mind

play Riff

Verse2:

the money you spend on running shoes could feed me for a week
your plans are laid so well you can't even sleep
pursuit of happiness got your life locked under martial law
you got everything to lose so your paranoid about some fatal flaw
5:30 get up and you run, run, run
then you work 8 hours slaving under the gun
your little world's made up of lies lies lies
always rushing but you're never satisfied

CHORUS
