[Intro]
[Twelfth fret harmonics E-A-D-A for a bunch of bars, then:]
E - E - E - E - E - E - E -E - A - D - E - E - C - B - F# - F#


E
Paid for the body rare, you see it on TV (???)

E
Worst thing in 1954 was the Bikini

E
See the girl on the TV dressed in a bikini

E
She doesn't think so much, she's dressed for the h-bomb [FOR the h-bomb]



[Chorus]

A            B                         E
I found that essence rare, it's what I look for

C          B                       F#
I knew I'd get what I asked for


Paid for the country fair you read it in the papers (???)

Worst thing happens any week scattered on the front page

See the happy pair smiling there (???) like they're monkeys

They [something something something] they're holding themselves down
                                                         [HOLD
themselves down]


[Chorus]


[Feedback/Percussion Bridge]

[Chorus]

Paid for politicians rare they act their photos well (????)

Last thing they'll ever do: Act in your interest

Look through the world with your polaroid glasses

Things all look a whole lot better for the working classes [WORKing
classes]

[Chorus]
