--, -----  x2
 You got the look
 but not the credit
 They wrote the book
 on how to sell it
 From cigarettes
 to skinny jeans
 You got the money
 they got the means
 Oh you upper  class daughters
 and working  class sons
 It's hard  to save a dollar
 the way  the world runs
 You're the target  market
 of a corporate  joke
 It won't  be so ironic
 when your daddy  is broke
 Surprise  surprise
 surprise  surprise
 You're much  better
 looking when you're
in  disguise
 Surprise  surprise
 surprise  surprise
 And this  revolution
 has been brought  to you by
 Post Chorus: Dm---C-
 Just gotta stop
 so you can mimic
 The tortured honest
 the gyn is cynic
 The latest gadget
 is just a gimmick
 Another sucker
 born every minute
 Well I'm sick  of this
 town bringing  me down
 A vast  world epidemic
all  around
 I'm  sick of this town
bringing  me down
 A lost  generation
 trying to act  profound
 Oh you upper  class daughters
 and working  class sons
 It's hard  to save a dollar
 the way  the world runs
 We got a counterculture
 you can buy  of a shelf
 If you're losing  your
 identity to somebody  else
 (Repeat Chorus 1)
Those  who seek to
think we  don't care
 And those  who seek
 to think we're  not aware
 Surprise  surprise
 surprise  surprise
 You're much  better
 looking when you're
in  disguise
----  x2
 While Ian sing these lines:
 Call the ranks
 Call the ranks
 Call the ranks
 Oh you upper  class daughters
 and working  class sons
 It's hard  to save a dollar
 the way  the world runs
 We're the target  market
 of a corporate  hoax
 Our generation  is
 a fucking  joke
 (Repeat Chorus 1)
 (Repeat Chorus 2)
