STANDARDS
(Paul Weller)
E B A B (x2)
Oh, [E]we make the [B]standards and [A]we make the [B]rules,
And [A]if you don't abide by them you [B]must be a fool.
[E]We have the [B]power to con[A]trol the whole [B]land,
You [A]never must question our [B]motives or plans.
Cos we'll [C#m]outlaw your voices, do [B]anything we want,
We've [A]nothing to [B]fear from the [E]nation.
We'll [C#m]kick you out your houses if you [B]g et too much,
If we [A]have to we'll destroy your gene[B]ration.
We've [E]built up a [B]frontage and [A]we've gained res[B]pect,
There's [A]no-one to endanger our po[B]sition.

And we [C#m]don't like people who [B]stand in our way,
A[A]wareness is [B]gonna be re[E]dundant.
And [C#m]ignorance is strength, we have [B]God on our side,
Look, [A]you know what happened to [B]Winston.
Oh, we make the standards and we make the rules,
And if you don't abide by them you must be a fool,
We have the power to control the whole land,
You never must question our motives or plans.
