Intro: A (with a bass and melody riff that goes a g e a e g g e a)
E A You don't have to buy into this E A You don't kave to to pay that kind of price E D You can easily get rid of this Bm E You can be stupid, or you can be wise
You don't have to get out of it You don't have to sweat blood You don't have to live like a turtle in a pond Up to your neck in mud, well
CHORUS
A G F#m E Whatever's got you crippled with pain A G F#m E Whatever's got you buried in a hole A G F#m E You don't have to give it no clinical name (2nd time "fancy name") E D E You don't have to be a tortured soul A (same as) No No No No no tortured soul
You don't have to be stupefied And crushed underfoot like a slave You don't have to be riddled with envy Chasing the illusions you crave
You don't have to feel pressurised You can just take off the lid You don't have to be haunted forever About something you did
CHORUS
The dark demons may taint you False gods may call out your name Diseases whores may flaunt themselves in front of you But that's the oldest game
And all that broken glass that you shit on All that lead you keep on your roof That albatross you hang round your neck like an unlucky charm It all keeps you from the truth
Now, you don't have to buy into this
You don't kave to to pay that kind of price You don't have to live in self persecution You can be stupid, or you can be wise
CHORUS
Ends with repeat of last chorus line.
