Standard (EADGBE)

Whistle blowers gotta get outta school

They don't want poets

 they want pigeons on a stool

 You're examining fossils, defending criminals

 I'm clock watching getting dumb

Photographing models a house painter's solace

 I'm like Sisyphus in the sun

And I give up

Raising your kids America

You treat 'em like an obligation

Welcome to the occupation

 The devil's in the details

 devil's in the details

 He's got your gold watch and chain

 The devil's in the details

 devil's in the details

 He's got your gold watch and chain

Whistle blowers, we know how you feel

Public servants, surrender their free will

 But you can't be in politics and work in the circus

You have to choose just one

You hold the nail, I'll swing the hammer

That's how things get done

 And goodbye valedictorians

 goodbye punks

 Goodbye valedictorians

 goodbye punks

And I give up

Raising your kids America

You treat 'em like an obligation

Welcome to the occupation

The devil's in the details

The devil's in the details

He's got your gold watch and chain

The devil's in the details

Devil's in the details

He's got your gold watch and chain
