 D                    Bm                  G                     A
Do you still see the same old crowd, the ones who used to meet every
Friday?
 D                       Bm
I'm really sorry that I can't be there
      G                                A
But work comes first I'm sure you'll understand

Business is thriving and I'm showing a profit and
Bm      A    D  Bm           A       D
And in any case, it wouldn't be the same
            Bm        D             Bm           D
Cause we've all grown up and we've got our own lives
         Bm             D        Bm     D
And the values that we had once upon a time
       Bm                    A
Seem stupid now 'cause the rent must be paid
     Bm                     A           Bm  A  D
And some bonds severed and others made

And I must admit we had a laugh, but that's all it was and ever will be cos

Cos the burning sky keeps a burning bright

And as long as it does, and it always will
            Bm         D           Bm     D
There's no time for dreams when commerce calls
          Bm                          A
And the taxman's shouting 'cause he wants his dough
         Bm                       A            Bm  A  D
And the wheels of finance won't begin to slow

And it's only us realists who are gonna come through
               Bm                         A
Cause there's only one power higher than that of truth
