Verse 1
Am D
the play ground bully that forced you
G Em
that cigarette at school
Am D
it ain't the nicotine or ash he pushed
G E
it was the moulding of a fool
Am D
that mum and dad once telling you
G Em
the way you're dressed ain't cool
Am D
they ain't no genuine fashion tips
G E
that's the moulding of a fool
C D
the dummy that they shove in mouth
Bm Em
as soon as you can speak
C D
the pushchair that they strap you in
Bm Em
soon as you find your feet
Chorus
Am
the car advert shorter skirt
D
the film you gotta see

that dish to cook the way you look

Verse 2
Am D
the very first drop of alcohol
G Em
the taste on tongue so cruel
Am D
turns our dreams to plasticine
G E
and decent folks to fools
Am D
the microscope the telescope
G Em
the study of the jewels
Am D
It's the cutting of a gem alright
G E
it's the moulding of a fool
C D
your death will pass unnoticed
Bm Em
like a hiccup or a cough
C D
like the news of a mother mourning loss
Bm Em
when televisions off

tattooed upon your neck

Bm E
and don't wear stripe with check

put sunroof down on car
turn the music loud
and think that acting proud or rich
will stand us from the crowd
