Verse:
   C        Bb         Eb       F
Is this my chance, for goodness sake,
   C        Bb         Eb       F
to make the point I’ve tried to make
    Am     Dm        G       C      F
for all my lifetime, give or take a year?

Interlude: Eb Bb Eb Bb

    C      Bb       Eb    F
And now it comes as no surprise:
    C          Bb        Eb         F
The world gets lost, the world gets wise.
   Am       Dm       G          C       F
So dot your t-s, and cross your i-s, my dear.

Interlude: Eb Bb Eb Bb

Post-verse:
C          Bb     Eb    F
And it's a golden opportunity
C         Bb         Eb      F
To take a stand and claim immunity
Am           Dm        G       C      F Bb Eb F G
Against the threat of more community service
C              Bb         Eb          F
And you would think that they'd catch on to us
C             Bb          Eb      F
The odds are stacked and vaguely nocuous
Am       Dm       G        C      F Bb Eb F G
Together we will make the Octopus nervous

Instrumental:
   C Bb Eb F

Verse:
    C          Bb       Eb         F
We don't have guns, we don't have knives
     C         Bb       Eb      F
But we've been waiting all our lives
    Am      Dm      G     C        F Bb Eb F G
And wait until the day arrives we will
    C       Bb          Eb        F
We don't pretend we're fighting crime
    C       Bb      Eb      F
We see the world in lemon lime
    Am    Dm   G         C       F   Bb
The only casualty's the time we kill
 Eb    F G
But still

Post-verse:
C         Bb         Eb    F
A lot of things are problematical
C           Bb       Eb    F
There is an urge to wax fanatical
Am          Dm        G       C     F Bb Eb F G
But we will not fall prey to radicalism
C          Bb           Eb       F
Well never mind, 'cause here's another thing
C            Bb         Eb       F
You won't believe what we're discovering
Am          Dm       G         C         F Bb Eb F G
And you can see it through the hovering prism

Chorus: G C F

            Eb          G   C     F
This is the fancy pants manifesto
            Eb          G   C     F
This is the fancy pants manifesto
            Eb          G   C     F
This is the fancy pants manifesto
    Eb        C
and now you know

Instrumental:
