Intro

Verse chords

Well a teacher of mine once told me

That life was just a list of

disappoints and defeats

And you could

only do your best,

And I said

"That's a fucking cop-out, you're just washed up and your tired, and when

I get to your age I

won't be such a coward"

But these

days I sit at home, known to

shout at my TVAnd

Punk Rock didn't live up to what I

hoped that it could be

And all the

things that I believed with all my

heart when I was young

Are just

coasters for beers and clean

surfaces for drugs

And I

packed all my

pamflets with my

bibles at the

back of the

shelf

Verse 2

(SAME CHORDS)

EXCEPT FOR LAST LINE -

Hung up my

Banner in

Disgust and I

Head for the

Door

Chorus

Oh but

once we were

young, and we were

Bm crass enough to

care

But I guess you

live and learn

we won't make that

mistake again,

no

Oh but

surely just for one

day, we could

fight and we could

win

And if only for a

little while,

we could insist on the

impossible

Bridge

Well we've

been a good few hours drinking so I'm going to

say what everyone's thinkng If we're

Stuck on this ship and it's

sinking then we

Might as well

Have

Parade

Cos if it's

Still going to hurt in the morning and a

Better plan's yet to get forming Then

Wheres the harm in spending an

Evening in

Manning the

Old barri-
