B            F#                 A              E
Oh, when the quality's poor how 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#             A
If I get hit, all that means is compensation
            E  B
I'll always know
   A                       E
To look both ways before I cross the road
   B                   F#             A
If I get hit, all that means is compensation
              E
At least it's something

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

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

[Bridge]

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

B            F#             A                   E
A real catch-22 for all the nation's privileged youth
B                   F#               A
Is any of this even worth all of 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#             A
If I get hit, all that means is compensation
