C Am I woke up this morning, my temperature high (buy, buy, buy),
C Am "I'll never buy nothing again, " I lied (buy, buy, buy).
C Am My doctor he told me to stay out of town (buy, buy, buy),
C Am he said, "affluenza will get you down" (buy, buy, buy). [Chorus]
C Am What did you do in the war, dad? What did you do in the war?
C* F* G* C* Ring up the tills in the High Street, I'm not coming in anymore. [Interlude]

[Verse 2]
C Am There's a price tag on me and there's sick on the floor (buy, buy, buy),
C Am we're buying up anything we can't afford (buy, buy, buy).
C Am Wherever I go, I keep hearing this voice (buy, buy, buy),
C Am saying "choose what you want" but there's so little choice (buy, buy, buy) [Chorus]
C Am What did you do in the war, dad? What did you do in the war?
C* F* G* C* Ring up the tills in the High Street, I'm not coming in anymore. [Interlude]

| C | Am | C | Am | Give it a rest
| C | Am | C | Am | [Verse 3]
C Am There's dumb moves behind me and bad debts above (buy, buy, buy),
C Am I pawned my affections and still got no love (buy, buy, buy).
C Am My heart and my pocket will say it's unfair (buy, buy, buy),
C Am I'm unlearning the cost of this laissez-faire (buy, buy, buy). [End-Chorus]
C Am What did you do in the war, dad? What did you do in the war?
C* F* G* C* Ring up the tills in the High Street, I'm not coming in anymore.
C Am What did you do in the war, dad? What did you do in the war?
C* F* G* C* Ring up the tills in the High Street, I'm not coming in anymore. [Other] | C | Am | N.C. || November twenty-three is buy nothing day
