[Intro]
G C G C D G
[Verse 1]
G
There's no song for the singer
Am Am7
No words for the tune
D
There's a mess in the message
G
And a man on the moon
There's no plan in the planet
Am Am7
It's all gone berserk
D
There's a milk bottle shortage
G
And the traffic lights don't work
[Chorus]
G
Lie down and be counted
C
Don't take any more
D
Lie down and be counted
D Am G
What are we standing for?
[Verse 2]
G Am
But there's hope for the couples who stroll in the
Am7
park
D G
There's nuclear power to light up the dark
Am Am7
There's national health and ice in the fridge
D G
And the occasional cow on a motorway bridge
Am Am7
There's extended credit on easier terms
D G
And something to kill all known household germs
G Am Am7
There's sofas and armchairs and washing machines
D G
Stars on Sunday, fishfingers and beans
[Chorus]
G
Lie down and be counted
C
Don't take any more
D
Lie down and be counted
D Am G
What are we standing for?
[Verse 3]
G Am Am7
There's no song for the singer, no words for the tune
D G
There's a mess in the message and a man on the moon
Am Am7
There's no plan in the planet, it's all gone berserk
D G
There's an everything shortage and the traffic lights
still don't work
[Chorus]
G
Lie down and be counted
C
Don't take any more
D
Lie down and be counted
D Am G
What are we standing for?
G
Lie down and be counted
C
Don't take any more
D
Lie down and be counted
D Am G
What are we standing for?
