Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to know
Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to know
Everyone around this town is so angry now
Blaring horns and swearing; shaking fists
If everybody in the world was a hit man
We'd wipe each other off each other's hit lists
Who wants to stand and be counted
Or anger every man until there's lines on your face, now
I don't want to be the one to start the shouting
I'm part of this society and I know my place
Take me where the sun won't shine on me
Take me where my conscience won't go now
Take me where the sun won't shine - on me
Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to know
Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to know
Everything around this town is so boring
Well nothing changes; Nothing doesn't stay the same
Ten years when we had high ideals
We couldn't wait to play the protest game
But now we have our thing together
Our brand new leathers, three bank accounts
Who cares about the starving millions
We're just happy that our cheques don't bounce
Take me where the sun won't shine on me
Take me where my conscience won't go now
Take me where the sun won't shine - on me
Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to know
Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to ...
No, Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to know

Notes ~~~~~ 1. I'm not too sure about the lyrics (thanks to Alan Pulliam for supplying them, BTW). I had completely the wrong idea originally in a few places and I've listened carefully and made one or two minor changes to them, but I'm still unsure of a few bits:
Stop the madness scene before it drives me insane ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Or anger every man until there's lines on your face, now ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^especially this bit^
Our brand new leathers, three bank accounts ^^^^^^^^ Here, Alan reckons it's probably `Lotus'
3. ***** I will be posting all Wes tabs/crds that I do in future to ***** ***** the newsgroup rec.music.makers.guitar.tablature since some ***** ***** hosts do not receive any of the `alt' groups. *****
4. The licks in this song are pretty easy, so I haven't included them in the CRD.
