D G
I'm standing on the outside lookin' in
D B
A room fulla money and I'm born to win
A G D
And no amount of work's gonna get me through the door
D G
When I go walkin' down Blue Water bay
D D/C# B
I surface in the city at the end of the day
A G D
Whoa, I got a bad case of the bends
D G
I'm standing on the sidewalk you can see
D D/C# B
Somebody everybody wants to be
A G D
But they got the means to justify every end
D G
I got a friend broke through illegally
D D/C# B
Pulled a job on a small town T.A.B.
A G D
Five grand down on his own little piece of Eden
Bridge:

The first thing I'll do when I get into town

Is buy a 22 and cut the whole thing down

No amount of work's gonna buy my way to freedom
