I would be a liar if I pretended I admire
The red-light windscreen-cleaning empire that you&8217;ve built.
But my heart is good it& 8217;s not a thing of s[Em]tone and wood [Am]
I&8217;ll give you 50 c[F]ents to take awa[G]y my guilt. [C]
I give money to folk who just don&8217;[Am]t have enough, [Em]
To try to justify the future purchases of stuff
That I don&8217[C];t need. [G]
I know that one less Vodka Cranberry tonight
Could probably feed some foreign family for a fortnight,
But I might just have one more.
After all what is Vodka for
Apart from making you want to shag your best mate&8217;s wife, [C]
And drowning out the guilt you feel about your perfect life?
Fuck the poor, what is all this hoo-ha for?
There&8217;s only one r[Am]eason I’ll phone 1800 034 [Em]034 [F] [G]
It&8217[F];s the force behind Teresa and the school that O[Em]prah built,
I&8217;ll give you 50 b[F]ucks to take awa[G]y my guilt. [C]
Fuck the poor, I&8217;m not pretending any more
That I really give two shits about some kids in Bangalore.
I&8217;m more interested in footy than seeing the Solomon’s rebuilt,
But I&8217;ll give you 50 bucks to take away my guilt.
This is a Tim Minchin I have transcribed myself, I don't think it's completely
right but if you play it and sing it it will definately sound like the real
thing. I've also worked out Dark Side so I will post that soon too!
