[Verse]
Fm7
Back in my schooldays, acting the fool days
One and one and one is three
Db6 Dbmaj7 Fm7
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
Db6 Dbmaj7 Fm7
I didn't want to be a part of the great debate on moonshine
[Chorus]
Db6 Dbmaj7
"Stop, pay the price," they said to me
Db A#m7 Fm7
"Take this advice, you're out of your head"
Db6 Dbmaj7
I said, "Stop, hold the phone
Db A#m7
This has to be cut to the bone
Fm7
Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red"
[Verse 2]
Fm7
Sly man stumbles, twists and he tumbles
He always lands on his feet
Db6 Dbmaj7 Fm7
And he sets his face towards the far horizon
Fm7
Won't you come this way? Can't you go that way?
But his rhythm don't miss a beat
Db6 Dbmaj7 Fm7
'Cause he's doing everything he can to keep surviving
[Chorus]
Db6 Dbmaj7
"Stop, pay the price," they said to me
Db A#m7 Fm7
"Take this advice, you're out of your head"
Db6 Dbmaj7
I said, "Stop, hold the phone
Db A#m7
This has to be cut to the bone
Fm7
Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red"
[Chorus]
Db6 Dbmaj7
"Stop, pay the price," they said to me
Db A#m7 Fm7
"Take this advice, you're out of your head"
Db6 Dbmaj7
I said, "Stop, hold the phone
Db A#m7
This has to be cut to the bone
Fm7
Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red"
[Verse 2]
Fm7
So who wants a riot? People should be quiet
Don't we give them good TV?
Db6 Dbmaj7 Fm7
You can learn to love your lifetime of distraction
Fm7
Nothing on the inside, nothing on the outside
Dll the way from A to Z
Db6 Dbmaj7 Fm7
I can live without that kind of satisfaction
[Chorus]
Db6 Dbmaj7
"Stop, pay the price," they said to me
Db A#m7 Fm7
"Take this advice, you're out of your head"
Db6 Dbmaj7
I said, "Stop, hold the phone
Db A#m7
This has to be cut to the bone
Fm7
Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red"
[Chorus]
Db6 Dbmaj7
"Stop, pay the price," they said to me
Db A#m7 Fm7
"Take this advice, you're out of your head"
Db6 Dbmaj7
I said, "Stop, hold the phone
Db A#m7
This has to be cut to the bone
Fm7
Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red"
[Chorus]

This has to be cut to the bone
Fm7
Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red"

Db A#m7 Fm7
"Take this advice, you're out of your head"
Db6 Dbmaj7

Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red"
