C       G/C          F/C       G/C
I am a man who looks after the pigs
C         G/C        F/C  G/C
Usually I get along okay
C      G/C      F/C          G/C
I am man who reveals all he digs
C               G/C            F/C G/C
Should be more careful what I say

Chorus:
             C   F
I'm getting put down
             C      F
I'm getting pushed round
Dm         C            A#
I'm being beaten every day
           C F
My life's fading
                 C  F
But things are changing
Dm             C             A#
I'm not gonna sit and weep again

I am man who drives a local bus
I take miners to work but the pits all closed today
It's easy to see that you are one of us
Isn't it funny how we all seem to look the same

Chorus

F         C
My karma tells me
A#             F
You've been screwed again
Gm               F
If you let them do it to you
       D#               A#
You've got yourself to blame
                        F
It's you who feels the pain
                         C
It's you who takes the shame

I am a young man, I am not done very much
You men should remember how you used to fight
Just like a child I've been seeing only dreams
I'm all mixed up but I know what's right

Chorus:
I'm being put down
I'm getting pushed round
I'm being beaten every day
My life's fading
Things are changing
I'm not going to sit and weep again
I'm not going to weep again
