[Verse 1]

E
Life on Earth is a bloody hazardous affair
E
As in the city, the republic was collapsing away
            Esus4                                     E
I think the brilliant crust's hiding sad realities to come
              Esus4                                   E
And there's a decisive battle that we all had that we lost

[Pre-Chorus]

E5     A5
Oooooh oooooh
E5     A5
Oooooh oooooh

[Chorus]

        E
I don't care if the fascists have to win
        A
I don't care democracy's being sucked
        E
I don't care socialism's full of sin
      A
The unbeatable system engenders rot
         E
But what is exciting
         A
Is a challenge and stimulation
         E                                        A
That the tensions help keep the creative nerve so taut

[Verse 2]

            E
The absence of profounder transformation in the country
E
Make their hopes turn sour, feelings of let down in irony
  Esus4                                    E
Obviously once more it could be called treachery
         Esus4                                E
Rappel à l'ordre, oh, don't you get too revolutionary

[Pre-Chorus]

E5     A5
Oooooh oooooh
E5     A5
Oooooh oooooh

[Chorus]

        E
I don't care if the fascists have to win
        A
I don't care democracy's being sucked
        E
I don't care socialism's full of sin
      A
The unbeatable system engenders rot
         E
But what is exciting
         A
Is a challenge and stimulation
         E                                        A
That the tensions help keep the creative nerve so taut
