The Showcase Showdown
Chords: D G A F#m
[intro:]
D G D A
D G A
D* A*
Has the man got you down? No revolution lies ahead
D* (G) (F#m) A
Working at a register till all day - Well it makes you want to kill
D A
But there's no blood to be found on the street outside, or in a retail chain
D (G) (F#m) A
Instead steal goods from the stockroom each and each and every day
[chorus:]
A G
They're stealing all your time
F#m D
So what are you gonna do?
A G
Rip 'em off, Rip 'em off
F#m D
'Cause they're doing it to you
Rows and rows of cubes and desks sapping all your energy
Always watching you like a hawk, no way to get away
They think you should be honored to be working in the their office world
Instead steal all their trade secrets and sell them to another firm
[chorus]
[bridge:]

GF#ED A
Assembly line work on the factory floor, packing cartons eight to six
Forty years all ahead of you, conditions make you sick
Put a dead rat in a can a day, while the foremans turned around
Consumers will all soon revolt, and drive the business into the ground
