This Is Not A Song, It's An Outburst: Or, The Establishment Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][D][D][D]

[Verse 1]
The [D]mayor hides the crime rate
[G]Council woman hesitates
[D]Public gets irate [G]but forgets the vote date
[D]Weatherman complaining,
pre[G]dicted sun, it's raining
[D]Everyone's protesting,
[G]boyfriend keeps suggesting
[E]You're not like [A]all of the [D]rest

[Verse 2]
Gar[D]bage ain't collected,
[G]women ain't protected
[D]Politicians using, [G]people they're abusing
The [D]mafia's getting bigger,
like pol[G]lution in the river
And you [E]tell me that [A]this is where it's [D]at

[Bridge 1]
[G]Woke up this morning
with an ache in my head
I splashed on my clothes
as I spilled out of bed
I [G]opened the window to listen to the news
But [A]all I heard was the Establishment's Blues

[Verse 3]
[D]Gun sales are soaring,
[G]housewives find life boring
Di[D]vorce the only answer,
[G]smoking causes cancer
This [D]system's gonna fall soon,
[G]to an angry young tune
And [E]that's a [A]concrete cold [D]fact

[Verse 4]
The [D]pope digs population,
[G]freedom from taxation
[D]Teeny Bops are uptight,
[G]drinking at a stoplight
[D]Miniskirt is flirting, I [G]can't stop so I'm hurting
[E]Spinster sells [A]her hopeless [D]chest

[Verse 5]
A[D]dultery plays the kitchen,
[G]bigot cops non-fiction
The [D]little man gets shafted,
[G]sons and monies drafted
[D]Living by a time piece,
[G]new war in the Far East
Can [E]you pass the [A]Rorschach [D]test?

[Outro 1]
It's a [G]hassle it's an educated guess
Well, [A]frankly I couldn't care [D]less
