Intro: D   G  (4 times)

                D                G                 D                  G

Now don't get bent out of shape,   don't start tearing out your hair

         D                G           D               G

One a sweet little angel,      that stuff's nowhere

           D                           G             D                        G

When the bombs go off on Oxford Street      and the kids beat up old people

               D                    G               D             G

It's just a soundtrack for your life     it's just everyday evil

 

CHORUS

Dm                       Bb   Dm                     Bb

Don't let it break you down Don't let it break you down

Dm                      Bb      D  G   D   G 

Don't let it break you down

 

Some people are in charge of pens that shouldn't be in charge of brooms

They have the nerve to rip up a man's life in a paragraph or two

And the aeroplanes get hijacked and all the Americans get killed

And the children are addicted to a sugar-coated pill 

 

CHORUS  then E  G  D (three times)

 

Well you get sent out on the racetrack, you get spurs dug in your cheeks

You'll see a winning post in the distance that you'll never reach

And there's a hole in the atmosphere gets bigger every time you spray your hair

And someone's drilling down through the earth just to see what's there

 

CHORUS  twice, then instrumental section with 

grunts and soft guitar and then ends on D
