Capo 8th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

The beer, the beer, the beer, the beer

 The beer don't make you a man

 No it takes something else

 Something I'll never have

 And a beer, a beer, a beer, a beer

 A beer makes you feel good

 Like if you wanted you could

Kick anybody's ass

knife, knife, knife, knife

 A knife makes you feel strong

 With a gun you're never wrong

Everybody try to stay calm I think the safety's on

A car, a car, a car, a car

A car means you can go

Whenever you want to

With an FM radio

Guitars, guitars, guitars, guitars

Guitars, Thin Lizzy rocks

So dust off your old stompbox

and we'll run it through your Vox and your Firebird

Cos you're tired, you're tired, you're tired, you're tired

You're tired of feeling sad

Your disappointed, hurt and mad

And all the poetry you've written is bad

Because a pen, a pen, a pen, a pen

A pen don't mean you can write

You're no fucking John Updike

Even if you spell it right

Just like a hardon, a hardon, a hardon, a hardon, a hardon

A hardon don't mean you're in love

Cos when the pushing comes to shove

Do you really want to be here?
