They Got It Wrong as Usual Lyrics by Graham Parker

They Got It Wrong as Usual Lyrics

    pre>intro f c g (twice)
    F c g
    They took the girl with the famous eyebrows and plucked them out
    F c
    They made her shadow disappear in the mirror
    G
    And called it a shadow of doubt
    F c
    Then they wanted us to pay up front
    G am
    For the privilege of watching this go down
    F c g
    Then they painted her eyebrows back on now she's a clown

    Chorus
    F c g
    They got it wrong (as usual)
    They got it wrong (as usual)
    Am
    They got it wrong

    They took the boy with the overworked vibrato
    And called him a singer of songs
    They made him lose his faith on the spotlight
    Till he started singing 'bout his gun
    They shot the wolves in the wild tundra cos man has to be top dog
    Then they hauled out an innocent victim and gave him a hearty flog

    Chorus repeat

    G am
    They got it wrong and made it worthless
    G am
    Got it wrong and made it worthless
    G am g am
    As usual. as usual

    They took the real things that worked for us and threw them out
    They took the only things that really mattered
    And said this is not what it's about
    They killed the wolves in the wild tundra cos man has to be top dog
    Then they elevated the ignorant like they were gods

    Chorus repeat /pre>
