[G]
[Gm] [G]
I don't like instant iced tea.
[C] And I ain't crazy about dollar a gallon self-serve gasoline.
[G] [D] And they nearly broke me with a high price to be.
[C] And the funny thing is they think they're putting this over on me.
[G] I've always been an upstanding citizen.
[C] But I am getting fed up now, my friend.
[D] And if you don't understand what I've said.

[A]
This country's getting in a kind of bad shape.
[D] When the gasoline profits are up, up and away.
[E] And I can barely live on my take-home pay.

[A]
Don't tell me to ride a bus and turn down my thermostat.
[D]
When you're all running around in jets and Cadillacs.
[E] Can't take this lying down, we've got to try and fight back.
