These Are The Days

Em STIs are rife in children, G Either guns or s*x will k**l them, C And if they make it to their 20s, D They'll probably have type-2 diabetes Em Locals cutting down the trees G For free papers no one reads C Illegal wars that sow the seeds of D So called democracy Em But if they took Afghanistan G in retaliation of the towers, C Tell me Mr Leader Man, D Why are the poppies still in flower? Em TV shows that make the music G Electric cars that no-one uses C Leona Lewis still in my head D At least top of the pops is dead Em G C Well, these are the days and we hear it every day Em G C Then they wonder why we binge drink. Em Ice caps melt away G Shores are rising in the bay C Shares are falling every day D And the price of beer is how we pay Em Kids buying skinny jeans G And a best of The Libertines C Trading in their drum n bass D For the next big band on the fly front page Em Kids can't communicate G Spelling later with a number eight, C Let's have chips and lard for dinner, D Jamie Oliver make me thinner Em Politics like Jerry Springer, G Shout the loudest and you're the winner, C The church is empty so we're all sinners, D But I think hell sounds quite appealing Em G C Well, these are the days and we hear it every day Em G C Then they wonder why we binge drink. Em And with bodies still fresh in the ditches, G Blair goes home to spend his riches C Now lets welcome in the Tories D I wasn't alive but I've heard the stories Em And the cost of living soars and soars, G Like some filthy joke, C And you'd think that they'd stop starting wars, D Before they tell us where to smoke Em G C Well, these are the days and we hear it every day Em G C Then they wonder why we binge drink. Em G C Well, these are the days and we hear it every day Em G C Then they wonder why we binge drink.
