[Verse 1]
D
They thought you were crazy
                                       A
When you took a walk right through the door
D
They don't know the reason
                             A
You just couldn't take it anymore
Bb                 C
The lies that they told you
        F               Bb
And the times that they sold you
     C
Down the line


[Chorus]
D                G
Live for today - don't need your politician
D                G
Live for today - don't want no inquisition
D                    G                      A
Live for today - you gotta throw the rules away
A
You gotta, you gotta
D                G
Live for today - don't need your politician
D                G
Live for today - don't want no inquisition
D                    G                      A
Live for today - you gotta throw the rules away


[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
D
Counterfeit city
                            A
Spending your life in their charade (sorry for yourself)
D
Sincerely phony
                                            A
This musical mascerade has gone too fucking far
Bb            C
You sold your clothes
         F            Bb
Now it's cold up your nose
        C
And you frooze


[Chorus]
D                G
Live for today - don't need your politician
D                G
Live for today - don't want no inquisition
D                    G                      A
Live for today - you gotta throw the rules away
