[Verse]
Am7
Back in my schooldays, acting the fool days
One and one and one is three
F6 Fmaj7 Am7
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
F6 Fmaj7 Am7
I didn't want to be a part of the great debate on moonshine
[Chorus]
F6 Fmaj7
"Stop, pay the price," they said to me
F Dm7 Am7
"Take this advice, you're out of your head"
F6 Fmaj7
I said, "Stop, hold the phone
F Dm7
This has to be cut to the bone
Am7
Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red"
[Verse 2]
Am7
Sly man stumbles, twists and he tumbles
He always lands on his feet
F6 Fmaj7 Am7
And he sets his face towards the far horizon
Am7
Won't you come this way? Can't you go that way?
But his rhythm don't miss a beat
F6 Fmaj7 Am7
'Cause he's doing everything he can to keep surviving
[Chorus]
F6 Fmaj7
"Stop, pay the price," they said to me
F Dm7 Am7
"Take this advice, you're out of your head"
F6 Fmaj7
I said, "Stop, hold the phone
F Dm7
This has to be cut to the bone
Am7
Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red"
[Chorus]
F6 Fmaj7
"Stop, pay the price," they said to me
F Dm7 Am7
"Take this advice, you're out of your head"
F6 Fmaj7
I said, "Stop, hold the phone
F Dm7
This has to be cut to the bone
Am7
Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red"
[Verse 2]
Am7
So who wants a riot? People should be quiet
Don't we give them good TV?
F6 Fmaj7 Am7
You can learn to love your lifetime of distraction
Am7
Nothing on the inside, nothing on the outside
F#ll the way from A to Z
F6 Fmaj7 Am7
I can live without that kind of satisfaction
[Chorus]
F6 Fmaj7
"Stop, pay the price," they said to me
F Dm7 Am7
"Take this advice, you're out of your head"
F6 Fmaj7
I said, "Stop, hold the phone
F Dm7
This has to be cut to the bone
Am7
Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red"
[Chorus]
F6 Fmaj7
"Stop, pay the price," they said to me
F Dm7 Am7
"Take this advice, you're out of your head"
F6 Fmaj7
I said, "Stop, hold the phone
F Dm7
This has to be cut to the bone
Am7
Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red"
[Chorus]
F6 Fmaj7
"Stop, pay the price," they said to me
F Dm7 Am7
"Take this advice, you're out of your head"
F6 Fmaj7
I said, "Stop, hold the phone
F Dm7
This has to be cut to the bone
Am7
Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red"
[Chorus]
F6 Fmaj7
"Stop, pay the price," they said to me
F Dm7 Am7
"Take this advice, you're out of your head"
F6 Fmaj7
I said, "Stop, hold the phone
F Dm7
This has to be cut to the bone
Am7
Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red"
