What a Bastard The World Is

D                      Am
Early in the morning I feel my pillow
  C             G         D
I listen to the soundless phone
                        Am
My thoughts are sweaty, freezing inside
    C     G        D     Dm
Our bed's empty as ever
                   Am
What a bastard you are
G                    D
Leaving me all night missing you
D                           Am
Slowly the door opens, you stand for a while
C            G            D
See if I'm asleep or just closing my eyes
                     Am
I quickly get up and throw my pillows
C        G       D
Throw an ashtray filled with butts
C                             G
Where were you all night if I may ask you so?
         Am                          G
Though I don't care at all, I'd just like to know
C
Right! you weren't near the phone to call me from
                 G
Or is it you were afraid to wake me up?
    Am                                 G
I'm sick and tired of listening to the same old crap
    C                      Bm
You know half the world is occupied with you pigs
  C                      G
I can always get another pig like you
       C                                 Bm
You've heard of female liberation, well, that's for me
       C                                G
You'll see me walk out one day and then where will you be?
    C
But don't you be too happy
                           Bm
I ain't walking out yet to give you satisfaction
    C
I'm first gonna find something other than the walls
             G
To have some human conversation
          C                              Bm
Then I'll glow, I'll be happy inside, my limbs will relax
    C                              G
And I can walk out into the world, singing with my people
    C                                      Bm
But now I couldn't even move my muscles to go near the door
   C                                   G
I've been sitting here too long and my legs are numb
        C                        Bm
Are you listening, you jerk, you pig, you bastard
     Am                             G
You scum of the earth, you good for nothing?
        C
Are you listening?
                        G
Oh, don't go, don't go, please, don't go
         C                    G
I didn't mean it, i'm just in pain
                       E
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
                          Bm
The door is closed, she's left alone
D         A      E
Making herself a breakfast
                           Bm
Her hands are shaking, her eyes looking out
D            A          E            Em
Watching the trees grow day by day
                   Bm
What a bastard the world is
A              E
Taking my man away from me
A                 E
Taking the world away from me
                       B
Female lib is nice for Joan of Arc
    C#m                       G#m
But it's a long, long way for Terry and Jill
E                             B
Most of us were taught not to shout our will
C#m                               G#m
Few of us are encouraged to get a job for skill
    E              G#m       A               E
And all of us live under the mercy of male society
F#m                 G#m  B      E
Thinking that their want is our need
