[Verse 1]
Welcome [Am]aboard on a ride on the next train!
This
Stratford -Avon.
[Em]We[Am][Em][Bm]
[F#m][Bm][D]
[Am]I see tiny red eyes,
find what goes on in my [Em]life
[Am]Nasty little red tape,
checking everything in my [Em]life
[Bm]Checking me, controlling me,
keeping files and asking me [F#m]why
[Bm]Infuriating, insinuating, following me everywhere,
[D]forget me and leave me out
Red tape I can't do without
There's too much [Am]red tape, red tape,
[Em]red tape in my l[Am]ife
There's too much red tape,
red tape, [Em]red tape, in my [Am]life
I [C]wanna keep my privacy
[D]Big brother is watching [F]me
There's too much [Am]red tape,
red tape, [Em]red tape, in my [Am]life
You are everywhere I go
There's so much you want to know
But [Em]my life
[Am]At the airport and in court
You want to know more and more
But [F#m]my life
[Bm]When I'm married and to whom
Why I left my school so soon
[F#]It's my [F#m]life
[D]You ask if I pay my taxes
And a passport, pho[Dm]tograph[D]
[Dm]With nasty[Am] little red tape
Surely I don't need you in my [Em]life
You [Am]want to know who I am, what I do
With my [Em]life
[C]Where I live and how I grew, can I read and can I write,
[D]am I voting [Dm]left or [F]right?
[Am]You are looking [Em]everywhere
in my [Am]life
I hate the red tape, red tape,
[Em]red tape, in my [Am]life
I hate the red tape, red tape,
[Em]red tape, in my [Am]life
I [F#m]wanna keep my privacy, but
[Bm]Big
Brother is watching me
There's too much [Am]red tape,
red tape, [Em]red tape in my l[Am]ife
I say I hate red tape, red [Em]tape,
red tape in my [Am]life
Oh nasty little red tape,
I don't [Em]want you in my [Am]life
I [F#m]want to keep my privacy
Big [Bm]brother is watching me
There's too much [Am]red tape, red tape,
[Em]red tape in my l[Am]ife[Em][Am][Em][Am][Em][Am][Em]
[Am]You [F]are looking everywhere

[Outro 1]
You're a bureaucratic [C]nightmare
