 Verse 1
 ~~~~~~~
 D                   Bm                D
 Some people might say my life is in a rut. I'm quite
 
 Bm                   D
 hap-py with what I got.
 
               Bm                           D
 People might say that I should strive for more, but I'm so
 
 Bm                        B
 happy I can't see the point.
 
 D#m7            
 Some-things ha-ppen-ing here today_ a
 
 B                          D#m7
 show of strength with your boys bri-gade and
 
 B                       D#m7           B
 I'm so hap-py and you're so kind_, you want more mon-ey, of course
 
 D#m7
 I don't mind to buy
 
 E                           F#    
 nu-cle-ar text-books for at-om-ic crimes and the
 
 
 B                    D#m7
 public gets what the public wants_ but
 
 E                         F#
 I want no-thing this so-ci-e-ty's got_
 
 
 Verse 2
 ~~~~~~~
 Some people might get some pleasure out of hate,
 Me I've e-nough alrea-dy on my plate.
 People might need some tension to relax, me I'm to
 Busy dod-ging between the
 Flak. What you see_ is what you get, you've
 Made your bed you betterlie in it you
 Choose your leaders and place your trust
 As their lies wash you down and their prom-
 ises rust, you'll see
 Kid-ney machines re-placed by rockets and guns and the
 Public wants what the public gets but
 I don't get what this so-ci-e-ty wants

 ---------------------------------------------
 Only knowing the chords doesn't really help play this.
 You have to listen to get the right 'chu_gg - chu_gg - ching - eh - eh - eh'
 rhythm at the start.
 
 Hope the layout makes sense, it was a real pain to try and 
 set it out correctly. The first two lines in the verses run
 together a bit.
 
 More Jam will be posted if I have time.
