C      G      E              Am  G      C
Let's go downtown and watch the modern kids
C      G      E              Am    G    C
Let's go downtown and talk to the modern kids
C     G    E         Am     G    C
They will eat right out of your hand
C  G         E                   Am      G   C
Using great big words that they don't understand,
they say

Chorus:
 C   G    E      Am   G    C
Rococo Rococo Rococo Rococo
C   G    E        Am   G    C
Rococo Rococo Rococo Rococo

They build it up just to burn it back down
They build it up just to burn it back down
The wind is blowing all the ashes around
Oh my dear God, what is that horrible song?

Chorus

They seem wild but they are so tame
They seem wild but they are so tame
They’re moving towards you with
their colors all the same
They want to own you but they don’t know what game
They’re playing
