Verse
F F/A
Monsieur Dupont he was an ordinary fellow
Cadd9 Dm7 Csus4
Equally bad and good
Cadd9 F/A
Got sick of women so he got into porno
Cadd9 Csus4
And gave to charities 'cause he knew he should
F F/A
Never gave up on striving for the rainbow
Cadd9 Dm7 Csus4
Mindless happiness with a healthy lawn
Cadd9 F/A
Trembling with joy at the thought of a new TV
Cadd9 Csus4
Under a regime of robots in authority
Chorus
F C Cadd9 Dm7 Csus4
Plastic flowers laying on his grave
Cadd9 Dm7 Csus4 C Csus4 C
From the company he gave thirty-two years to
F C Cadd9 Dm7 Csus4
Plastic flowers melting in the sun
Cadd9 Dm7 Csus4 C Csus4 C
G memento to the glorious things he's done
Verse
He had a car and a home on the Northside
Respectable neighbourhood
And all his struggling to obtain riches
Laying dead it doesn't do him much good
What does it profit a man to gain the whole world
And yet to lose his soul
What does it profit a man to love little
And not be loved at all
Chorus
Middle
F F/A
In my life I pray
Cadd9 Dm7 Csus4
I don't just follow blindly x2
Cadd9 Dm7
All the plans preset for me
Cadd9 Csus4
And without question become my enemy
Verse
The factory people carry on without him
Another face occupies his place
He had friends but he never really knew them
Such a shame that he went so young
Above the terraces and multi-storey car parks
He will be sitting trial
Too late to gasp out for God at his last breath
Hoping that he's got a loophole or two left
Chorus
