G                D
The world is consuming me and
F               Em
I don't feel so happy here today
G           D
I'm not and I don't feel and
  F             Em
I used to be a baby in my day

So where is the one you love?
Does she hold you happy next to her?
And your head hangs lightly
and everyone's slightly drunk tonight
They're drunk tonight again, la-la-la

Chorus:
F                C               Em
I don't need to see you, no, no, no
                 C
I don't need to see you, no, no, no

My head it is hanging now
and my eyes are on the ground,
the ground, the ground
And everyone's so patronizing

I don't see when the real things comes around
So where is your mother now,
did she hold you happy next to her
And your head hangs lightly
and everyone's slightly drunk tonight
They're drunk tonight again, la-la-la

Chorus

And maybe no work done today,
no work done today. No. No. No
No work done today. No. No. No. No,
work done today
