Am    F                     C
I'm walking through these pastures
    G                Am
I'm picking up sweet fruit
    F                  G
I'm shaking hands with people
     C              Am
That previously I'd shoot
    F               C
But nothing will dissuade me
G            Am
Nothing will dilute
F G C          Am
I   want to execute
F C G          Am
I   want to execute

        Dm             G              C F
And you tend to meet a lot of scum en route
   Dm                  F                C    G
It doesn't mean you've joined the other side
    Dm                   G             C              F
And because I still wear shorts and my smile is oh so cute
   Dm                G            C    G
It doesn't mean I'll run away and hide

[Chorus]
     C               F       G       C
To a world where the leaders finally confess
(I think the answer's yes, I think the answer's yes)
       C              F                  G              C
To the burning of the Stock Exchange and bombing of the press
(I think the answer's yes, I think the answer's yes)
[end Chorus]

  C                  F                G                  C
I think the answer's yes, yes, yes, I think the answer's yes

Am F C G

Am  F                     C
I'm walking through these corridors
      G                Am
Where crime meets pantomime
        F                    G
They're laughing and they're drinking
       C            Am
On the swill of overtime
    F               C
And no-one seems to know about
    G                       Am
The death-wish that they've signed
F G C          Am
Ah,   life's unkind
F C G          Am
Ah,   life's unkind

         Dm          G               C  F
And they see me as a potential new recruit
     Dm               F                    C     G
They rub their hands, slap their backs and smile
    Dm              G            C                 F
But I still wear suspenders underneath my business suit
   Dm             G             C     G
So needn't worry about me for a while

[Chorus]
