Intro
A E A E D G E
[Chorus]
A E
Do the Corporation Rock, do the Corporation Roll
D G E
Ain't no one gonna stop you babe, now you're in control
A E
Do the Corporation Rock, do the Corporation Roll
D G E
You can take all the knocks, 'cause you got iron in your soul
[Verse 1]
A F#7
When you was a baby, did you have it all planned?
D E
Did you map out your future, in the palm of your hand?
A F#7
Make it with the music, get the people on their feet
D E
Dancing to the music, you're really feeling sweet
[Verse 2]
A F#7
Then you make it on the scene and suck up to the press
D E
Cause a small sensation, let the mugs do the rest
A F#7
Hung up on your ego, one, two, three, four, five
D E
Hit-records in a row, wow! now you really jive
[Verse 3]
A F#7
You'd better form a company, big office in the town
D E
And when you pay them a visit, they really know you've been around
A F#7
And in the big outside world, you're still a household name
D E
Like some kind of washing-up liquid, or maybe just a dozy football game
[Verse 4]
A F#7
Hey, be a big sensation, a million in a crowd
D E
You used to be among them once, now you've really been around
A F#7
So, corporate your music, 'cause it's not music anymore
D E
It's just the way that you used it, baby, and what you think it's for
[Chorus]
A E
Do the, do the Corporation Rock, do the Corporation Roll
D G E
You can take all the knocks, you got iron in your soul
A E
Do the Corporation Rock, do the Corporation Roll
D G E
No one's gonna stop it now, now you're in control
[Verse 5]
A F#7
I was dancing at the Go-Go, good music on the stage
D E
Seemed such a long time ago, it feels like an age
A F#7
Dancing to the magic, a brave new world ahead
D E
Don't think twice, it's alright, I heard somebody had said
[Verse 6]
A F#7
So no one thought about it, until it was too late
D E
And now the gates of Eden, brothers and sisters, they're gonna have to wait
A F#7
So, corporate your music, 'cause it's just muzak
D
It's just the way that you use it, abuse it
E
And what other people think it's all about
[Chorus]
A E
Corporation, Corporation Rock, do the Corporation Roll
D G E
You can take all the knocks, 'cause you've got iron in your soul
A E
Do the Corporation Rock, do the, do the Corporation Roll
D G E
We know you're nobody's fool, you're nobody's fool
[Chorus]
A E
Do the Corporation Rock, do the Corporation Roll
D G E
But you gotta find yourself, sunshine, before you know who's your soul
[Outro] (## fade to end ##)
A E D G E
Do the, do the
A E D G E
Do it, do it
A E D G E A E D G D
