He said, "Folks like me, we're 
       D

   E        D            E       
We got more money, we got better 
          D
things to do

We don't say 'friend', we don't

Hey junior mister, living on your

        E                 D       
They're whispering in the

corridors, they're raking up old 
bones
E             D             E

           E       D          
'Cause the red-top rags and the 
  E          D
glossy magazines
    E            D            
The flies on the wall are gonna

And a man needs a maid and a 
          D
heart needs a home
    E           D        E       
Like Peters and Lee, like Robson 
      D

E             D           E     
Lenin and the Beatles and Marx 
       D        E
