Intro: A   G   D

           D               G               A
I've been hanging around, waiting for my chance
G                      A              D
  to tell you what I think about the music that's gone down
     G              A         G                         A
to which you madly danced - frankly, you know that it stinks
D                                      A
I'm gonna scream, gonna shout, gonna play my guitar
            D      D    A        G    D                  D   D   A   G   D
until your body's rigid and you see stars

 D                              G              A
Look at all the jerks in their tinsel glitter suits
G            A      D
  pansying around; look at all the nerks
          G                A     G                        A
in their leather platform boots,   making with the heavy sound...
D                                      A
I'm gonna stamp on the stardust and scream till I'm ill 
           D         D   A        G    D          A
if the guitar don't get ya, the drums will

 D                 G                    A
Now's my big break - let me up on the stage
G                             A      D
I'll show you what it's all about; enough of the fake
G                      A     G                                 A
  bang your feet in a rage,     tear down the walls and let us out!
 D                               A
We're more than mere morons, perpetually conned
        D        D      A        G               D       x2     D   D   A   G
so come on everybody, smash the system with the song
           G      A        D
Smash the system with the song!
