[Verse 1]
Am      G       C
Pick up all the footsteps
    Am        G      C
And hang them on the wall
    Am G         C
And analyse them quickly
   F                 G
Oh just before death calls
         Am     G    C
It was a lovely afternoon
           Am       G     C
And no one wants to go to bed
             Am      G        C
And when the evening turns to dark
       F                   G
Oh the streets are painted red

[Chorus]
        F        G
Now it [?] for nothing
C        Em    Am
They can go to hell
Dm               G         C
Blasting out the fires to [?]
    F              G
But sure, wouldn't I know?
      C       Em    Am
I'm a man without a fight
        Dm                 G
But I'm certain they'll be satisfied too now

[Verse 2]
        Am     G       C
And the band's playing louder
Am      G       C
Landing song to song
        Am        G        C
And the parade is marching forward
        F               G
For the army rules the [?]
Am        G      C
Watch out mister officer
Am      G     C
What do you expect?
      Am    G    C
There is no toleration
               F             G
You're probably just as mad

[Chorus]
           F        G
And you're paid for nothing
C       Em    Am
You can go to hell
    Dm               G               C
I'm blasting out the fire to yourself
       F        G
You're good for nothing
   C        Em      Am
Oh you just do your job
  Dm            G
A donkey bitten harder [?]

[Bridge]
Dm      G
   I am modest
Dm               G
   It's not your style
Dm           G
Throw in the pelicans
C
Papadadaaaaa
Dm           G
Inpulled you sir
Dm              G
You're just the same [?]
Dm       G
You lose your [?]

Who to blame?

[Verse 3]
    Am      G       C
The devil upon your shoulders
   Am        G        C
Is screaming in their ears
        Am      G        C
As they gather 'round in circles
          F               G
They will lack those volunteers
    Am         G         C
But apart from all these ramblings
     Am     G     C
It's just another day
    Am      G         C
And I'll be glad it's over
           F         G
It sings: 'Stop me!'

[Chorus]
    F          G
But hurray for those ones
C      Em      Am
In the wishing well
    Dm               G                    C
I'm blasting out the wishpers someone else
         F        G
But it's good for nothing
C           Em     Am
When you're down below and
    Dm         G
The riots you [?]
