CEmFGF
They tell you not to worry, they say they're terribly sorry
CEmFG
But that's the way it has to be, for the likes of you and me
AmF
Just be good and know your station
GC
Always look on the bright side
AmF
Keep you faith and keep your patience
GG
Your reward is after you've died
(Chorus:)
CEmFGF
So don't be told, don't be consoled
CEmFG
Things are so bad, you can never make do
FG
And there's always someone better off than you
CEmFGF
They tell you that's your future, it's all down to human nature
CEmFG
Simply settle for what you got, that's destiny and that's your lot
AmFGC
All of us cannot come first, yes what you have is second best
AmF
But it might be a good deal worse
GG
Third world peasants get even less
(Chorus)
CEmFGF
So don't be told, don't be consoled
CEmFG
Things are so bad, you can never make do
FG
And there's always someone better off than you
DmC
Do you care that it's not fair?
DmC
Is this the way we have to live?
DmCDmC
I know I care, and I want an equal share
GFG
Even if it mean I have to give
CEm
The people who are on top
FGF
Say that you should keep your chin up and
CEmFG
They are keen to show you, the unhappy ones below you
AmFGC
But I want to more of that stuff, that's looking at it upside down
AmFG
And the world has got money enough for us to make it go around so
CEmFGF
So don't be told, don't be consoled
CEmFG
Things are so bad, you can never make do
FG
And there's always someone better off than you
