E
Canned laughter for applause
               C   D
You've opened doors
E
In and out of their wives
                     C  D
In and out of your smalls

A           Am
It's not a BAFTA you're after
C#m                        F#
You want a million dollar lay
Em Bm   G
By all means necessary
C                  B
You will get your way

Chorus:
Am G    D
It all seems so easy
     G
But so are you
         B                  Em D A
That's what I've heard them say

All the make up that you wear
Can't hide the flaws
Your work in charity for your own cause
You won't be dating a teacher

You'd rather shag a manic street preacher
By all means necessary
You will get your way

Chorus

Em            A
Sex with a stranger
                      Em
You've been laid in a manger
                         A
And you think he's your saviour
                   Dm
Will he leave his pager?
                  G
You could be his daughter
                Dm
Look what he's bought ya
                      B
But the money won't change ya
                    E
Of that there's no danger
                         A
Now your life's gettin' darker
                      Em
It's you that they're after
                  A
Fifteen minutes a martyr
                  Dm
Blame it on your father
                   G
That dress nearly fits ya
                  Dm
Girl what's possessed you
                         B
Can we please take your picture
                    Em    G
You know they'll forget ya
C   B
Ooh yeah

Choru:
It all seems so easy
But so are you
That's what I've heard them say
By all means necessary
You will get your way
By all means necessary
You will get your way
By all means necessary
You will get your way

You don't get your way
By giving it away
