[Verse 1]
C D C
I scrimp and scrape and I write my music,
G C D
As I rattle on down the Tube.
C D
But I know its goin' nowhere,
C
Coz the kids have got no money,
G C D
Coz they put it all into you.
C D C
This is my blood sweat and tears,
G C D
To you its a life of fun.
C D C
As I worry about my music,
G C D
You wonder how it's done.
C D C
There's a “big man” up top,
G C D
He's making all the right moves for you.
C D C
He think's its the way of the future,
G C D
Thinks he's pullin' something new.
C D C
As the kids grow up today,
G C D
They don't know what quality means.
C D
Coz they're parting with their money,
C
For the shit they see on telly and their,
G C
Brains are turning to beans.
D C D
Over this Gimmick.

[Chorus]
F Bb C F Fsus2
I see you trying to pull the wool over our eyes.
F Bb C F Fsus2
I see you trying to pull the wool over our eyes.

[Verse 2]
C D C
As I drive through the city,

G C D
Your name's up in the lights.
C D C
I don't know how you made it.
G C D
No-one even thinks its right.
C D C
I read your interview,

G C D
You're telling me it's getting hard.
C D C
Perhaps its not for you?
G C D
Perhaps you should have been cleaning cars!
C D
Gimmick!
