Intro
Am  D  G  Em 
Am  D  G  E

Verse 1
    Am                     D                      
the play ground bully that forced you 
     G            Em    
that cigarette at school
   Am                    D                                                                       
it ain't the nicotine or ash he pushed 
           G             E
it was the moulding of a fool
     Am               D                     
that mum and dad once telling you 
    G                        Em    
the way you're dressed ain't cool
     Am               D                                    
they ain't no genuine fashion tips 
           G             E
that's the moulding of a fool
    C               D                            
the dummy that they shove in mouth 
   Bm              Em   
as soon as you can speak 
    C                   D                          
the pushchair that they strap you in 
Bm                    Em    
soon as you find your feet

Chorus
Am                                                          
the car advert shorter skirt 
                   D
the film you gotta see
     G                                                     
that dish to cook the way you look 
                    Em
the person you must be
    Am                                                                             
the cheapest shop the tightest top 
                       D
the senseless waste of breath
C                   D                   
revolution won't be televised 
    Bm                Em
and neither will your death
C                   D                    
revolution won't be televised 
    Bm                Em   
and neither will your death

Verse 2
Am                     D               
the very first drop of alcohol 
    G                  Em  
the taste on tongue so cruel
Am                  D                        
turns our dreams to plasticine 
    G               E
and decent folks to fools
    Am             D                    
the microscope the telescope 
    G            Em  
the study of the jewels
         Am           D                              
It's the cutting of a gem alright 
         G             E
it's the moulding of a fool
     C                 D                    
your death will pass unnoticed 
       Bm          Em   
like a hiccup or a cough 
         C                D                              
like the news of a mother mourning loss 
     Bm          Em   
when televisions off

Chorus
Am                                                          
the car advert shorter skirt 
                   D
the film you gotta see
     G                                                     
that dish to cook the way you look 
                    Em
the person you must be
    Am                                                                             
the cheapest shop the tightest top 
                       D
the senseless waste of breath
C                   D                   
revolution won't be televised 
    Bm                Em
and neither will your death
C                   D                    
revolution won't be televised 
    Bm                Em   
and neither will your death

Verse 3
    C              D                 
but written on the gravestone 
Bm                 Em   
tattooed upon your neck
   C               D                           
is stay within the yellow lines 
    Bm                     E
and don't wear stripe with check

Chorus
Am                                                          
the car advert shorter skirt 
                   D
the film you gotta see
     G                                                     
that dish to cook the way you look 
                    Em
the person you must be
    Am                                                                             
the cheapest shop the tightest top 
                       D
the senseless waste of breath
C                   D                   
revolution won't be televised 
    Bm                Em
and neither will your death
C                   D                    
revolution won't be televised 
    Bm                Em   
and neither will your death

Coda
N.C.
put sunroof down on car 

turn the music loud

and think that acting proud or rich 

will stand us from the crowd
