verse 1 
G                                  C 
You were born in a country that’s part of the West 
              D                        G 
Where you’re led to believe that this life is the best 
G                                        C 
But all through you’re life you’re just put to the test

The main aim being to keep up with the rest

And don’t worry my friend if you find you can’t cope

Don’t lend them your mind and your body to bend 
         D                         G 
Because your life’s of your own choosing my friend

Everybody’s busy just making ends meet 
      D                    G 
They seem to enjoy being rushed off their feet 
G                                    C 
Ask them and they’ll tell you this life’s hard to be 
                 D                  G 
And they’ll be rewarded when they join the elite

Well It makes no sense we know that it’s true 
         D                             G 
There’s some who’ll agree but there’s only a few 
G                                  C
