Verse
Em D
Yesterday's coal train came to rest in the bitter
C
Cutting
G D C D B
And as the signals took an age to change it was
B7
Easy pickings
C
So you go to the movies where they smash it up
D
You want to feel your heart pumping it makes
You feel good
G D
All through the karaoke girls were squealing
The hits
G D B B7
As another Mercedes-Benz gets blown to bits
Em D
While all the time in the camp town theaters
C
Of Piccadilly
G D C
They're going to throw a black-face minstrel
D B
Show for the barefoot children
B7
That they're always selling
C
They'll say "It's quaint" as the guilty ones faint
D
And claim they ain't underneath this paint
G D
We interrupt these liberal saints with their
C B
Whips and watermelon
[Chorus]
Em C Am D
Reports are coming in of a coal-train robbery
Em C Am D
It's like another world, or it had better be
Em D
So we return to whitewashed pout of his
C
Committed lips
G D C
Since he was declared the long lost fountain
D B B7
Of youth that drips and drips and drips
C
They'll be sending him round from door to door
D
To sell you back what's already yours
G D
"So many good deeds, so little time"
G D B B7
Say the advertising agency swine
C
When man has destroyed what he thinks he owns
D
I hope no living thing cries over his bones
G D
If you don't believe that I'm going for good
G D
You can count the days I'm gone and chop up
B B7
The chairs for firewood
[Chorus]
Em C Am D
Reports are coming in of a coal-train robbery
Em C Am D
It's like another world, or it had better be
