Intro
N.C.
Wake up kids, it's half past the youth
Ain't nothin' really changin' but the date
You're a grand slammer, but you're no Babe Ruth
You gotta learn how to relate
Or you'll be swingin' from the pearly gate
Yeah, I got all the answers, lo and behold I got the right key baby
But the wrong key hole, yo

Well, I woke up this morning On the wrong side of the bed
A# G# A# G#
And how I got to thinkin' About all those things you said
A# G# A# G#
About ordinary people And how they make you sick
A# G# A# G#
And if callin' names kicks back on you Then I hope this does the trick
[Pre-Chorus 1]
F5 G7 G#5 A#
Cause I'm sick of your complainin' about how many bills
F5 G7 G#5 A#
And I'm sick of all your bitchin' 'bout your poodles and your pills
F5 G7 G#5 A#
And I just can't see no humor about your way of life
C
And I think I can do more for you with this here fork and knife!

So I called up my head shrinker and I told him what I'd done
A# G# A# G#
He said you'd best go on a diet, yeah I hope you have some fun
A# G# A# G#
And a'don't go burst a bubble on the rich folks who get rude
A# G# A# G#
Cause you won't get in no trouble when you eats that kinda food
[Pre-Chorus 2]
F5 G7 G#5 A#
Now their smokin' up the jail bonds, and then they go get stiff
F5 G7 G#5 A#
And they're dancin' in the yacht club, with Muff and Uncle Biff
F5 G7 G#5 A#
But there's one good thing that happens, when you toss your pearls to swine
C
Their attitudes may taste like shit, but go real good with wine!
