          G         Em             C           D7    

You're a lonely alcoholic, with a tendency to w(h)ine

            G             Em             C           D7 

Well, you speak it and you drink it, and bore us all the time

          G                 Em             C           D7 

Say you drink out of your sorrow for you've got no one to love

      G                 Em             C           D7 

But, tell me, who could cuddle up to a lonely alcoholic?



G  Em  C  D7   



           G                  Em               C           D7 

You're a stressed out single mother, who has clearly been harassed

           G                 Em             C               D7 

Well, you can't predict the future, for you can't erase the past

          G         Em     C           D7 

But your baby isn't going anywhere but up

    G                Em                     C         D7 

So join the line and get the dole for the stressed out single mothers



G  Em  C  D7



       G         Em         C               D7 

I'm a mediocre writer, who sings all of the time

         G             Em            C               D7 

Writing songs about misfortunes and other people's crimes

            G             Em       C           D7 

Well, they say that I am doing my duty to the world

               G               Em                   C    D7  

Oh, you could say that that is honerous, I'm just craving to be heard

           G                  Em             C              D7 

We've got kids who just don't eat enough and men with many wives

         G              Em            C              D7 

If we're all together screaming, why can't we make a sound?

             G                   Em             

Oh, cuz the dirt on which we're stepping 

       C        D7                   G   Em    C     D7
