I knew she would meet her connection, At her feet was her footloose man

C F C F
You get what you need ahhhhhhah yeah
And I went down to the demonstration, To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"...
Sing it to me now...
Chorus
I went down to the Chelsea drugstore, To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy, And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda, My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy, Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead" I said to him
Chorus
Bridge: D/A | Em/B | F/C | Dsus | G
Chorus (instrumental, just sing, ‘you get what you need’ at the end)
I saw her today at the reception, In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception, Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands
Chorus, oh’s at the end.
Repeat Chorus with ohs,
Then just C&F oh’s.
