Dm      F              G
I was soaking in your love and I was broken shit
    Dm       F       G
It left like old news
      Dm         F       G
I was picked in my most vulnerable and so
                    F   C A#
I showed the world for you

God gave my place
I'm a number of a showcase
I'm a sickly child too
So you spoke of good times
Hope and peace and gave yourself a pay rise, too

Chorus:
Dm       F       G
Plastic people, because everybody's equal
A#        Dm      F   G
There's a war on my roof
A#     Dm      F        G
How fantastic people, 'cause if everybody's equal
A#      F      C      A#
So are you? (Who are you?)

I was penniless and sitting in the streets
And then he walked by like you
As you flashed this plastic hope to loneliness
And investments swing by you

Chorus

Plastic people, because everybody's equal
There's a war on my roof
How fantastic people, 'cause if everybody's equal
So are you
