(palm mute)
(riff 2)
Your twisted cynicism - makes me feel sick -
(riff 2)
Your open disgust for 'Idealistic naive'
(riff 2)
You've given up hope - you're jaded and ill -
(riff 2)
The trouble is your thought's a catching disease.
[Dm9]Ooh - you need to get a[F]way -
[Dm9]Ooh - you need a change of [F]pace -
Because you're [Dm9]all dried up and you don't believe,
You reckon [F]I'm dreaming when I say I still feel real,
You say you [Dm9]work for yourself and it's the only way,
F (riff 1)
But I look at you talking and to me you just scr*pe away.
(riff 1)
(riff 2)
What makes once young minds get in this state?
(riff 2)
Is it age, or just the social climate?
(riff 2)
You're talking like some f**king hardened MP,
(riff 2)
You're saying power's all, it's powers you NEED!

Saying powers all you need
Hey
[Dm9]Ooh - you need to get a[F]way -
[Dm9]Ooh - you need a change of [F]pace -
Because you've [Dm9]given up on hope - you're emotionless -
You've [F]no need for love, it's just hate, hate, hate, hate.[Dm9]
