Intro
Am  D  G  Em
Am  D  G  E

Verse 1
    Am                     D
the play ground bully that forced you
     G            Em
that cigarette at school
   Am                    D
it ain't the nicotine or ash he pushed
           G             E
it was the moulding of a fool
     Am               D
that mum and dad once telling you
    G                        Em
the way you're dressed ain't cool
     Am               D
they ain't no genuine fashion tips
           G             E
that's the moulding of a fool
    C               D
the dummy that they shove in mouth
   Bm              Em
as soon as you can speak
    C                   D
the pushchair that they strap you in
Bm                    Em
soon as you find your feet

Chorus
Am
the car advert shorter skirt
                   D
the film you gotta see
     G
that dish to cook the way you look
                    Em
the person you must be
    Am
the cheapest shop the tightest top
                       D
the senseless waste of breath
C                   D
revolution won't be televised
    Bm                Em
and neither will your death
C                   D
revolution won't be televised
    Bm                Em
and neither will your death

Verse 2
Am                     D
the very first drop of alcohol
    G                  Em
the taste on tongue so cruel
Am                  D
turns our dreams to plasticine
    G               E
and decent folks to fools
    Am             D
the microscope the telescope
    G            Em
the study of the jewels
         Am           D
It's the cutting of a gem alright
         G             E
it's the moulding of a fool
     C                 D
your death will pass unnoticed
       Bm          Em
like a hiccup or a cough
         C                D
like the news of a mother mourning loss
     Bm          Em
when televisions off

Chorus
Am
the car advert shorter skirt
                   D
the film you gotta see
     G
that dish to cook the way you look
                    Em
the person you must be
    Am
the cheapest shop the tightest top
                       D
the senseless waste of breath
C                   D
revolution won't be televised
    Bm                Em
and neither will your death
C                   D
revolution won't be televised
    Bm                Em
and neither will your death

Verse 3
    C              D
but written on the gravestone
Bm                 Em
tattooed upon your neck
   C               D
is stay within the yellow lines
    Bm                     E
and don't wear stripe with check

Chorus
Am
the car advert shorter skirt
                   D
the film you gotta see
     G
that dish to cook the way you look
                    Em
the person you must be
    Am
the cheapest shop the tightest top
                       D
the senseless waste of breath
C                   D
revolution won't be televised
    Bm                Em
and neither will your death
C                   D
revolution won't be televised
    Bm                Em
and neither will your death

Coda
N.C.
put sunroof down on car

turn the music loud

and think that acting proud or rich

will stand us from the crowd
