Sid Vicious played a four-string Fender bass guitar and couldn't sing

F# ukulele has four strings, but Sid did not play ukulele

A A7 Dsus2
If only Sid had had a ukulele, maybe he would have been happy
E7sus4 G7
Maybe he would not have suffered such a sad end
A A7
He maybe would have not done all that heroin instead
Dsus2 E7sus4 G7
He maybe would've sat around just singing nice songs to his girlfriend
[Chorus]

If only they had given her an instrument, those puritans
Dsus2 E7sus4 G7
Had lost the plot completely, see what happens when you muzzle
[Verse 4]
A A7
F# person's creativity and do not let them sing and scream
Dsus2 E7sus4 G7
And nowadays it's worse, 'cause kids have automatic handguns
A A7
It takes about an hour to teach someone to play the ukulele
Dsus2 E7sus4 G7
About the same to teach someone to build a standard pipe bomb, you do the math!
[Chorus]
A A7
So play your favorite cover song, especially if the words are wrong
Dsus2 E7sus4 G7
'cause even if your grades are bad, it doesn't mean you're failing
A A7

Imagine that John Lennon wasn't shot in front of his apartment
A A7 Dsus2
Now imagine if John Lennon had composed "Imagine" for the ukulele
E7sus4 G7
Maybe people would have truly got the message
[Verse 6]
A A7
You may think my approach is simple-minded and naive
Dsus2 E7sus4 G7
Like if you want to change the world, then why not quit and feed the hungry?
A A7
But people for millennia have needed music to survive
Dsus2 E7sus4 G7
And that is why I've promised John that I will not feel guilty
[Verse 7]
A A7
So play your favorite Beatles song and make the subway fall in love
Dsus2 E7sus4 G7
They're only nineteen ninety-five, that isn't lots of money

Quit the bitching on your blog and stop pretending art is hard
Dsus2 E7sus4 G7
Just limit yourself to three chords and do not practice daily

A A7
Your ice cream truck, your missing wife, your will to live, your urge to cry
Dsus2 A
