Just Another Movie

Bm                    A          
Presidential elections are 
               G
planned distractions
          A                        
To divert attention from the action
   Bm
 behind the scenes
Bm                                
like a game of chess when the 
       A
house is a mess
Or a petty money squabble when your 
                       G
marriage is in trouble
               A               
Or a football game when there's 
                  Bm
rioting in the streets

Chorus:
Bm                      A        
It's just another movie, another 
               G
song and dance
Continues after the ad
A                            Bm
Another poor sucker who never had a 
chance
Bm                       A       
It's just another captain going 
                  G
down with his ship
              A           Bm
Just another jerk, taking pride in 
his work

Bm                    A          
I was a poor magician; I could 
              G
never understand
               A              
You can't make tears disappear 
          Bm
through sleight of hand
Bm                          A    
From the bottom of my heart -- 
                     G
off the top of my head
                       A           
Words were pulled like rabbits from
            Bm
 a hat but nothing was said

Chorus

Bm                                
Now my freedom's bought and paid 
   A                             G
for -- it lights up my living room
                      A          
I got nothing more to prove; I've 
                  Bm
got no reason to move
Bm                                 
And when I'm tired of the program 
A                           G
-- when it's taken it's toll
                        A       
I can press a button, change the 
            Bm
channel by remote control
