Take a typical man, put him with a typical woman
     E            B                F#
then sit back and watch everything slide
F#               B       F#            B
It's a perfectly natural expression of ill will,
    E                        F#
But when will hostilities subside

It's a very old problem that
F#                    B
Goes back to the dark ages,
   F          B       F#
The wages of original sin,
F#                     B
Let's make it a better world,
F#                       B
Let's shake it up, boys and girls,
     E                  F#
It's never too late to begin.

I swallow my pride for you,
F#                      B
My personal highs bore you,
F#                B
You're to wrapped up,
F#           B
In your own world,
F#        B         F#
I'm not a man for nothing,
F#              B
I gotta become someone,
    E                        F#
Inside this oyster there's a pearl
