[Intro]
Bm D G Em x2
[Verse 1]
Bm D
No hope for the village, no hope for the village
G Em
There's a merchant in our midst and with a barrel fist
Bm D
He's coloured every surface, he's slapped up a portrait
G Em
And yes, it is his own! He's gonna take your home!
Bm D
Have you seen our visitor? Look! Over the treetops!
G Em
Newly conjured erections are making him a killing
Bm D
And Richmond St. is illing, so the graduates are willing
G Em
To buy in to the pillage, now there is no hope for the village
[Break 1]
Bm G Bm A
P-p-p-prisoners, be silent, b-b-be silent and be sharp
[Verse 2]
Bm D
When he was a young man, he conjured up a firemare
G Em
And burnt off both his eyebrows and half a head of hair
Bm D
And then as an apprentice, he took a Drowish mistress
G Em
Who bestowed upon his youthfulness a sense of Champagne Chic
Bm D
Oh seduction, his seduction to the world of construction
G Em
Now his mind will start to wander when he's not at his computer
Bm D
And his massive genitals refuse to co-operate
G Em
no amount of therapy can hope to save his marriage
[Break 2]
Bm G Bm A
P-p-p-prisoners, be silent, b-b-be silent and be sharp
Bm G Bm A
Can you hear them talking? Listen, listen through the wall:
[Chorus]
Bm D G Em
Nothing to do, nothing to do
Bm D G Em
Living rent-free is boring me
Bm D G Em
Got no use for my PE Degree
Bm D G Em
Got no use for my pedigree
[Verse 3]
Bm D
I feed you every morning and ask so little
G Em Em7
But you belittle all the work, all the work that I do
Bm D
When you take that walk without permission
G Em Em7
I'm not defensive, I'm just saying this cause I love you
Bm D
You know I hate it when your friends are in the pool
G Em Em7
Old money stinks, send those faggots back to Forest Hill
Bm D
Contentment? What contentment? I am bald and impotent
G Em Em7
Is that what it's about? Oh honey, honey, shut your mouth
Bm D G Em x2
