Riff
a sullen figure walks along a dusty road,
C G
his life was holy and he couldn't bear the load,
Riff
he left his people and simple life behind,
C G
he raised his torso and looked into the sky,
D F C
shouting his questions, looking for directions,
Riff
"what do I do now?"
Riff
now a confused schoolgirl stares at the T.V. tray,
C G
the stresses of maturing compound every day,
Riff
she glances up to see her favorite video,
C G
and gets ideas from Madonna's nasty clothes,
D F C
in need of affection, she craves a direction,
Riff
her heroes offer her,
D A
everyone's looking for something,
C G A
and they assume somebody else knows what it is,
D A
no one can live without decisions of their own,
C G# D A#
it seems so they look to someone else,
F E
to tell them what to do,
F E
tell'em what to wear,
F E
tell'em what to say,
F E F E F E F E F E
tell'em how to act and think and compel others compulsively until the
world is
F G A
all like them
