Hey You, Is there something worth aspiring to?

E                           D   C
And can it be found in a record store?


Well, its not there anymore

A
Just think of all the things we did

        D         C          B       A
we were different, just like all the other kids,


[Interlude]

missy was a teen blue video star,

milo went to college but you knew about that,


[Chorus]

G                          B
rodney played our records, jimmy started riots,

F                                D          C        B A
laurie was always quiet, she was battling depression


[Verse 2]

hey you, is there something worth belonging to?
and can I pick it up for a song?
or a diploma or a worthy 'cause
well, let me tell you that there's nothing wrong,
its just that ones like us will never belong


[Interlude]

jack wore a skirt but he knew how to scrap,
billy went to county on a class one possession, 
wendy went to school while her daddy shot smack,


[Chorus]

eugene kept a list, mugger was security,
mary she kept her purity, we were all in it together 


[Bridge]

E                         A     G F# G
yellowed postcards on the wall,

E                      A               G   F# G
served to cover up the blankness after all

E                     A     G F# G
so I will carry them along, 

       A     G
like a song, 

F#   G   D    C B A
when I'm gone


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 3]

hey you, is there something worth belonging to?
you know we've been here all along
like a confederacy of the wrong
and I confess it could be prejudice,

                           G    F# E
but to you I dedicate this song,

    C  C  C  C  D  D  D  D
yah you...
