F
Well, I heard that some sheik
Eb

Bb A G F F D G F*
And you suckers ain't gettin' nothing!

With a bell on a stick
An' your hair is all gone...

Those Jesus freaks, well they're friendly but

An' they don't even care
When the church takes a cut
Ain't it bleak when you got so much nothin'

F Eb
Do what you wanna, do what you will
Bbmaj7 F
Just don't mess up your neighbor's thrill
