Compensation

B            F#                 
Oh, when the quality's poor how 
A              E
can you sell a feeling without
B         F#       A          A
Unethical means of promotion?

B                 F#
Well I'm not going away
                 E             A
I'm just getting younger every day
   B               F#       A
Is quality equal to means of 
production?
                  F#
Well it must mean something

[Chorus]
            E  B
I'll always know
   A                       E
To look both ways before I cross the
 road
   B                   F#     
If I get hit, all that means is 
        A
compensation
            E  B
I'll always know
   A                       E
To look both ways before I cross the
 road
   B                   F#     
If I get hit, all that means is 
        A
compensation
Continues after the ad
              E
At least it's something

[Verse 2]
B         F#
Wonderful woes
       A              E
Are we satisfied with truthfully 
anything?
B             F#             A  
Heart on your sleeve 
     A
misrepresented

     B             F#
Well maybe I can't complain
           E                       
Objects in motion won't stay in the
 A
 same place
   B           F#          
Is sacrificing integrity the 
  A
intention?
            E
It's up for contention

[Verse 3]
B           F#
Friendliest foes
       A                     E
Take a baseball bat straight to the 
knees
B        F#                      
You only get to leave if you are 
A        A
broken

B            F#             A   
A real catch-22 for all the 
                E
nation's privileged youth
B                   F#           
Is any of this even worth all of 
    A
the attention?
            F#
Yeah, did I mention

[Chorus]
            E  B
I'll always know
   A                       E
To look both ways before I cross the
 road
   B                   F#     
If I get hit, all that means is 
        A
compensation
