Intro: A G D
D G A
I've been hanging around, waiting for my chance
G A D
to tell you what I think about the music that's gone down
G A G A
to which you madly danced - frankly, you know that it stinks
D A
I'm gonna scream, gonna shout, gonna play my guitar
D D A G D D D A G D
until your body's rigid and you see stars
D G A
Look at all the jerks in their tinsel glitter suits
G A D
pansying around; look at all the nerks
G A G A
in their leather platform boots, making with the heavy sound...
D A
I'm gonna stamp on the stardust and scream till I'm ill
D D A G D A
if the guitar don't get ya, the drums will
(C D C D A C D C D A C D C D G A D F) x4 D A
D G A
Now's my big break - let me up on the stage
G A D
I'll show you what it's all about; enough of the fake
G A G A
bang your feet in a rage, tear down the walls and let us out!
D A
We're more than mere morons, perpetually conned
D D A G D x2 D D A G
so come on everybody, smash the system with the song
G A D
Smash the system with the song!
