INTRO
G#m G#m F#6 Eb
G#m G#m F#6 Eb
1st VERSET
G#m
Don't try so hard to be different
G#m
The 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#m
You'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"
Eb
In a T-shirt that reads "Disco Sucks"
G#m
Yes, here he comes, the not-so-young
G#m
Pretender to the Throne
F#6
He'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#m
When 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#m
With a raggle taggle plastic gypsy
G#m
Robert Zimmerframe
F#6
With a synthesized accordian
Eb
A-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#6
Or at any rate give it one more try
Eb
before I
Eb
die
Eb
before I
SOLO
G#m G#m F#6 Eb
die
G#m G#m F#6 Eb
G#m G#m F#6 Eb
2nd VERSET
G#m
The overrated hit the stage
G#m
Overpaid and over here
F#6
And their idea of counter-culture's
Eb
Momma's charge account at Sears
G#m
And they're wondering why we can't connect
G#m
With the ritual of the trashed guitar
F#6
One more paltry empty gesture
Eb
The ashes of a burned out star
G#m
Yes here they come, both old and young
G#m
A contact low or high
F#6
The gathering of the tribes descending
Eb
Vultures from a caustic sky
G#m
The rotting carcase of July
G#m
An ugly sun hung out to dry
F#6
You gorgeous hippy dreams are dying
Eb
Your frazzled brains are putrifying
G#m
Repackaged, sold and sanitizied
G#m
The devil's music exorcised
F#6
You live, you die, you lie, you lie, you
Eb
die perpetuate the
G#m
lie
G#m
perpetuate the
F#6
lie
Eb
perpetuate the
G#m
lie
G#m
Just to perpetuate the
F#6
lie
