Tom: C
C Dm F Dm
[Verse]
C G F
God is dead and so's the sexual revolution
C G F
The church and the family are dying institutions
C G F
The schools are filled with prayers for a failing constitution
C G F
And the penalty for silence is a moment of electrocution
[Chorus]
Am G
You can tell me about the death of the farming family
C F
Because I don't care about some stupid old crop
Am G
You can tell me about the death of the steel industry
C F
But please don't tell me about the death of pop
C F
Please don't tell me about the death of pop
C F
Please don't tell me about the death of pop
C F
Please don't tell me about the death of pop
C F
Please don't tell me about the death of pop
Am G
Please don't tell me about the death of pop
Am G C Dm F Dm
Please don't tell me about the death of pop
[Verse]
C G F
Wear clean clothes and tie up all your laces
C G F
Eat to win but cover all your bases
C G F
'Cause you can tell that the tears will be stolen from their faces
C G F
When the talking head says the body contained traces
[Chorus]
Am G
You can tell me about the death of the middle class
C F
Everybody knows there's nothing between the bottom and the top
Am G
You can tell me about the death of Mama Cass
C F
But please don't tell me about the death of pop
C F
Please don't tell me about the death of pop
C F
Please don't tell me about the death of pop
C F
Please don't tell me about the death of pop
C F
Please don't tell me about the death of pop
Am G
Please don't tell me about the death of pop
Am G C Dm F Dm
Please don't tell me about the death of pop
[Bridge]
C Dm F Dm
Death in Venice, death on the Nile
C Dm F Dm
Death with dignity, death with a smile
C Dm F Dm
Death of innocence, death of a salesman
C Dm F Dm
Death in the afternoon, death of the whales, man
[Chorus]
Am G
You can tell me about the death of the radical left
C F
You can't call a coalition when you really need a cop
Am G
And I'm much to chic to be bereft
C F
Please don't tell me about the death of pop
C F
Please don't tell me about the death of pop
C F
Please don't tell me about the death of pop
C F
Please don't tell me about the death of pop
Am G
Please don't tell me about the death of pop
Am G
Please don't tell me about the death of pop
Am G C Dm F Dm
Please don't tell me about the death of pop
