Am
Living high, sitting in the sun
F
Sit on your ass till your work is done
G                Dm                Am
You lazy mother, your hands are clean
You pull the strings and you got the clout
F
There's something filthy living in your mouth
G                Dm                 Am
Pushing your buttons you get away free

You let somebody do the dirty work
F
Find some loser, find some jerk
G              Dm                  Am
Find some dumb ass do it all for free
Let somebody do the dirty work
F
Find some loser, find some jerk
G                Dm     Am
Find some greaseball, yeah

Chorus:
F#m                E
It's beginning to make me angry
F#m               E
I'm beginning to hate it
F#m                 E
You're a user, you're a user
F#m
I'm gonna shake you

Am
Let somebody do the dirty work
F
I never see no grease on you baby
G                           Dm               Am
Never roll your sleeves up, do you, never baby
Let somebody do the dirty work
                             F
Find some fucker, find some jerk
G                         Dm
Do it all, do it all for free
Am
While you're out having all the fun
F
They'll take the blame when the trouble comes
G                    Dm  Am
Let somebody do it, do it

Chorus:
It's beginning to make me angry
I'm beginning to hate you
You're a user, I ate you

When you push you make me crazy

Am
Let somebody do it all for free
F
Let somebody do the dirty work
G                            Dm
Let somebody do it all for free
Let somebody do the dirty work
Let somebody do the dirty work
Pushing it harder, pushing it harder
