1st VERSET
G#mDon't try so hard to be different
G#mThe cracks are beginning to show
- F#6
You drift like a cloud through the festival crowd
Eb In a frock coat from Saville Row
G#mYou've just been an all-night party
- G#m
Where I have to admit it takes pluck
F#6 To go out on the floor and proclaim "What a bore"
EbIn a T-shirt that reads "Disco Sucks"
- G#m
Yes, here he comes, the not-so-young
G#m Pretender to the Throne
F#6He's singing "Rag, Momma, Rag"
- Eb
Won't you give that poor dog a bone?
G#m And he's wondering why we can't connect
G#mWhen he's sworn to us that he's totally wrecked
- F#6
On the rustic charm that he affects
Eb On a public schoolboy whim
G#mWith a raggle taggle plastic gypsy
- G#m
Robert Zimmerframe
F#6 With a synthesized accordian
EbA-scramblin' up my brain
- G#m
With a fiddle-dee-dee a fiddle on high
G#m Excuse me folks while I kiss the sky
F#6Or at any rate give it one more try
- Eb
before I
Eb die

G#mThe overrated hit the stage
G#mOverpaid and over here
- F#6
And their idea of counter-culture's
Eb Momma's charge account at Sears
G#mAnd they're wondering why we can't connect
- G#m
With the ritual of the trashed guitar
F#6 One more paltry empty gesture
EbThe ashes of a burned out star
- G#m
Yes here they come, both old and young
G#m A contact low or high
F#6The gathering of the tribes descending
- Eb
Vultures from a caustic sky
G#m The rotting carcase of July
G#mAn ugly sun hung out to dry
- F#6
You gorgeous hippy dreams are dying
Eb Your frazzled brains are putrifying
G#mRepackaged, sold and sanitizied
- G#m
The devil's music exorcised
F#6 You live, you die, you lie, you lie, you
Ebdie perpetuate the
