 Everywhere is  freaks and hairies
 Am/ // C/ // Riff 1
  dykes and fairies tell me where is sanity?
 Tax the rich  feed the poor
 Am/ // C/ // Riff 1
  til there aren't no rich no more.
 I'd love to change the world, but I don't know what to do.
 Riff 1 Riff 1
 So I leave it up to you.
 Population  keeps on breedin
 Am/ // C/ // Riff 1
  nation bleedin still no feedin - don't count on me.
 Life is funny  skies are sunny
 Am/ // C/ // Riff 1
  bees make honey who needs money? - no more for me.

More  pollution,  there's no solution,
institution,  electricution,
spread  the word,  rich and poor,
helpin  us  to stop the war.
 Riff 1 2x then Chorus; end on a slow-strum Em
 Sorry, but I couldn't figure out the last few notes before the Em,
 but I'm sure you can pick them out on your own. The Riff below is
 right, but it takes a few tries to get the right rhythym.
 Peace, love, and rock and roll.
