Hey You, Is there something worth aspiring to?
 
E                           D   C
And can it be found in a record store?
 
 
Well, its not there anymore
 
A
Just think of all the things we did
 
        D         C          B       A
we were different, just like all the other kids,

laurie was always quiet, she was battling depression
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
hey you, is there something worth belonging to?
and can I pick it up for a song?
or a diploma or a worthy 'cause
well, let me tell you that there's nothing wrong,
its just that ones like us will never belong
 
 
[Interlude]
 
jack wore a skirt but he knew how to scrap,
billy went to county on a class one possession,
wendy went to school while her daddy shot smack,
 
 
[Chorus]
 
eugene kept a list, mugger was security,
mary she kept her purity, we were all in it together

E                         A     G F# G
yellowed postcards on the wall,
 
E                      A               G   F# G
served to cover up the blankness after all
 
E                     A     G F# G
so I will carry them along, 
 
       A     G
like a song, 
 
F#   G   D    C B A
when I'm gone

[Verse 3]
 
hey you, is there something worth belonging to?
you know we've been here all along
like a confederacy of the wrong
and I confess it could be prejudice,
 
                           G    F# E
but to you I dedicate this song,
 
    C  C  C  C  D  D  D  D
yah you...
