F c g

They took the girl with the famous eyebrows and plucked them out

F c

They made her shadow disappear in the mirror

G

And called it a shadow of doubt

F c

Then they wanted us to pay up front

G am

For the privilege of watching this go down

F c g

Then they painted her eyebrows back on now she's a clown



Chorus

F c g

They got it wrong (as usual)

They got it wrong (as usual)

Am

They got it wrong



They took the boy with the overworked vibrato

And called him a singer of songs

They made him lose his faith on the spotlight

Till he started singing 'bout his gun







They shot the wolves in the wild tundra cos man has to be top dog

Then they hauled out an innocent victim and gave him a hearty flog



Chorus repeat



G am

They got it wrong and made it worthless

G am

Got it wrong and made it worthless

G am g am

As usual. as usual



They took the real things that worked for us and threw them out

They took the only things that really mattered

And said this is not what it's about

They killed the wolves in the wild tundra cos man has to be top dog

Then they elevated the ignorant like they were gods
