Em                Em
People like them, think they understand

Look at them laughing inside

All those funny faces, pretending to be nice

Catch you when they can, leave you in a mess

   And the whitecoats are coming for the clever ones
Dm                      C       Gm
   Hide your books – my boy
C
   And the whitecoats are coming for the clever ones
Dm                      C       Gm
   Hide your books – my boy
