Intro
C G C G F A# G
[Chorus]
C G
Do the Corporation Rock, do the Corporation Roll
F A# G
Ain't no one gonna stop you babe, now you're in control
C G
Do the Corporation Rock, do the Corporation Roll
F A# G
You can take all the knocks, 'cause you got iron in your soul
[Verse 1]
C A7
When you was a baby, did you have it all planned?
F G
Did you map out your future, in the palm of your hand?
C A7
Make it with the music, get the people on their feet
F G
Dancing to the music, you're really feeling sweet
[Verse 2]
C A7
Then you make it on the scene and suck up to the press
F G
Cause a small sensation, let the mugs do the rest
C A7
Hung up on your ego, one, two, three, four, five
F G
Hit-records in a row, wow! now you really jive
[Verse 3]
C A7
You'd better form a company, big office in the town
F G
And when you pay them a visit, they really know you've been around
C A7
And in the big outside world, you're still a household name
F G
Like some kind of washing-up liquid, or maybe just a dozy football game
[Verse 4]
C A7
Hey, be a big sensation, a million in a crowd
F G
You used to be among them once, now you've really been around
C A7
So, corporate your music, 'cause it's not music anymore
F G
It's just the way that you used it, baby, and what you think it's for
[Chorus]
C G
Do the, do the Corporation Rock, do the Corporation Roll
F A# G
You can take all the knocks, you got iron in your soul
C G
Do the Corporation Rock, do the Corporation Roll
F A# G
No one's gonna stop it now, now you're in control
[Verse 5]
C A7
I was dancing at the Go-Go, good music on the stage
F G
Seemed such a long time ago, it feels like an age
C A7
Dancing to the magic, a brave new world ahead
F G
Don't think twice, it's alright, I heard somebody had said
[Verse 6]
C A7
So no one thought about it, until it was too late
F G
And now the gates of Eden, brothers and sisters, they're gonna have to wait
C A7
So, corporate your music, 'cause it's just muzak
F
It's just the way that you use it, abuse it
G
And what other people think it's all about
[Chorus]
C G
Corporation, Corporation Rock, do the Corporation Roll
F A# G
You can take all the knocks, 'cause you've got iron in your soul
C G
Do the Corporation Rock, do the, do the Corporation Roll
F A# G
We know you're nobody's fool, you're nobody's fool
[Chorus]
C G
Do the Corporation Rock, do the Corporation Roll
F A# G
But you gotta find yourself, sunshine, before you know who's your soul
[Outro] (## fade to end ##)
C G F A# G
Do the, do the
C G F A# G
Do it, do it
C G F A# G C G F A# D
