lyrics

VERSE 1
Em B7 Em B7
My love ran off with the acid king
Em B7 A G B G
started out as a fling, but now she's gone
Em B7 Em B7
and she sleeps in a tent on a famous cross-street
Em B7 A G B G
right by the park

Em INTERLUDE

CHORUS 1
E B Bb B Bb A E
B Bb B Bb A G E
B Bb B Bb A G F# F

VERSE 2
Em B7 Em B7
My generation live in a tent
Em B7 A G B G
my generation don't pay no rent
Em B7 Em B7
the light will shine down if we all just consent
Em B7 A G B G
and the sky will fall if we think for ourselves
A G B G

Em INTERLUDE

CHORUS 2
E B Bb B Bb A E
If you could read between the lines
B Bb B Bb A G E
then you'd surely see it in my eyes
B Bb B Bb A G F# F
just what I mean when I say I'm fine, how are you?

GUITAR SOLO OVER VERSE

CHORUS 3

VERSE 3
Em B7 Em B7
I'm high and lonesome and I'd like to be
Em B7 A G B G
a fleshy cog up in your machine
Em B7 Em B7
We never made it to the promised land
Em B7 A G B G
So you just stand there with your dick in your hand
A G B G
and your eyes on the prize
A G B G E
and I wonder what you'll try to do next
