(Paul Weller)

From the LP `This Is The Modern World`

E B A B (x2)

E B A B
Oh, we make the standards and we make the rules,
A B
And if you don`t abide by them you must be a fool.
E B A B
We have the power to control the whole land,
A B
You never must question our motives or plans.

Cm B
Cos we`ll outlaw your voices, do anything we want,
A B E
We`ve nothing to fear from the nation.
Cm B
We`ll kick you out your houses if you g et too much,
A B
If we have to we`ll destroy your generation.

We`ve built up a frontage and we`ve gained respect,
A B
There`s no-one to endanger our position.

Cm B
And we don`t like people who stand in our way,
A B E

And ignorance is strength, we have God on our side,

Oh, we make the standards and we make the rules,
And if you don`t abide by them you must be a fool,
We have the power to control the whole land,
You never must question our motives or plans.
