A night in television wonderland. ..
                      C
Just one more fairytale about some 
rich bitch
                     G
Lying by the swimming pool,
It's the golden school,
 Dm

                 F
And life is easy when you make the 
rules.

Last Friday was the first time –
         C
It only took about a half a minute
            G
On the stairway,

It was child's play
       Dm                 G
The odds turn out even
F
When you give up believing in the

[Chorus]
              C
Cold law, Steel claw,

Try to get on board you find the 
lock is on the door
                 G
Well I say no way! .. .
Dm             Em                
Don't try to keep me out or 
                    F
there'll be hell to pay!

I don't know who's right or who's 
wrong,
          F                   C
But it doesn't really matter,
When you're crawling in the gutter
         G


It's a see-saw
    Dm        E                    F
A long hot battle with the cold law
                               G
Is what you get for messing with the

The politicians have forgotten this 
place. ..
                 C
Except for a flying visit in a black
 Mercedes
     G
At election time,

They cross the line,
       Dm            E        
And everybody runs to watch the

If they could see what's going on 
around here –
               C
So many people hanging on to the 
edge
                             G
Crying out for revolution!

Retribution. .. !
       Dm                 D
The odds turn out even
                  F
When you give up believing in the 
cold law

Repeat Chorus

Sometimes I think I'm going crazy
                     C
Sometimes I do a line, makes me 
laugh,
Makes me want to take a joy ride
     G


On the high tide. ..
Dm                   F
Sometimes I'm contemplating suicide

Meanwhile Bobby's out in Benidorm –
                  C
I know he's making out with some 
sweet senorita
                 G
And they go dancing,

In the moonlight,
       D                    F
The odds turn out even
When you give up the believing in
