[Verse]
C#m7
Back in my schooldays, acting the fool days
One and one and one is three
A6 Amaj7 C#m7
And the man said, "Hey, come and cut yourself a piece of the big time"
Armor-clad forces, riding Trojan horses
Never made sense to me
A6 Amaj7 C#m7
I didn't want to be a part of the great debate on moonshine
[Chorus]
A6 Amaj7
"Stop, pay the price," they said to me
A F#m7 C#m7
"Take this advice, you're out of your head"
A6 Amaj7
I said, "Stop, hold the phone
A F#m7
This has to be cut to the bone
C#m7
Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red"
[Verse 2]
C#m7
Sly man stumbles, twists and he tumbles
He always lands on his feet
A6 Amaj7 C#m7
And he sets his face towards the far horizon
C#m7
Won't you come this way? Can't you go that way?
But his rhythm don't miss a beat
A6 Amaj7 C#m7
'Cause he's doing everything he can to keep surviving
[Chorus]
A6 Amaj7
"Stop, pay the price," they said to me
A F#m7 C#m7
"Take this advice, you're out of your head"
A6 Amaj7
I said, "Stop, hold the phone
A F#m7
This has to be cut to the bone
C#m7
Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red"
[Chorus]
A6 Amaj7
"Stop, pay the price," they said to me
A F#m7 C#m7
"Take this advice, you're out of your head"
A6 Amaj7
I said, "Stop, hold the phone
A F#m7
This has to be cut to the bone
C#m7
Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red"
[Verse 2]
C#m7
So who wants a riot? People should be quiet
Don't we give them good TV?
A6 Amaj7 C#m7
You can learn to love your lifetime of distraction
C#m7
Nothing on the inside, nothing on the outside
A#ll the way from A to Z
A6 Amaj7 C#m7
I can live without that kind of satisfaction
[Chorus]
A6 Amaj7
"Stop, pay the price," they said to me
A F#m7 C#m7
"Take this advice, you're out of your head"
A6 Amaj7
I said, "Stop, hold the phone
A F#m7
This has to be cut to the bone
C#m7
Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red"
[Chorus]
A6 Amaj7
"Stop, pay the price," they said to me
A F#m7 C#m7
"Take this advice, you're out of your head"
A6 Amaj7
I said, "Stop, hold the phone
A F#m7
This has to be cut to the bone
C#m7
Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red"
[Chorus]
A6 Amaj7
"Stop, pay the price," they said to me
A F#m7 C#m7
"Take this advice, you're out of your head"
A6 Amaj7
I said, "Stop, hold the phone
A F#m7
This has to be cut to the bone
C#m7
Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red"
[Chorus]
A6 Amaj7
"Stop, pay the price," they said to me
A F#m7 C#m7
"Take this advice, you're out of your head"
A6 Amaj7
I said, "Stop, hold the phone
A F#m7
This has to be cut to the bone
C#m7
Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red"
