Verse 1
G
If the sons of company directors
C
G
an d judges' private daughters
D
Had to go to school in a slum school,
G
Dumped by some joker in
a damp back alley.
Csus2
Had to herd into classrooms
Em
cramped with worry,
C
With a view over slag heaps
G
and stagnant pools.
Had to file through corridors
Dm
Am
grey with age,
G
And play in a crackpot concrete
D
Dm
D
cage.
G
Buttons would be pressed,
rules would be broken,
C
strings would be pulled,
G
D
and magic words spoken.
G
Invisible fingers would mold
C
G
D
palaces of gold.
G
If Prime Ministers,
Dm
and advertising executives,
C
royal personages,
G
and bank managers' wives
Had to live out their lives
D
in dank rooms,
Dm
G
blinded by smoke and a foul air of sewers
Em
Rot on the wall and rats in the cellars,
C
in rows of dumb houses
G
like mouldering tombs
had to bring up their children
Dm
an d watch them grow,
Am
C
in a wasteland of dead streets
G
D
where nothing would grow.
G
Buttons would be pressed,
rules would be broken,
C
strings would be born,
Csus2
D
and magic word s spoken.
G
C
Invisible fingers would mould
G
D
palaces of gold.
G
Now I'm not suggesting any
Dm
sort of a plot,
Csus2
everyone knows
G
there's not.
But you unborn
D
And millions might like
to be warned
G
If you don't want to be buried alive
by slaggings
C
Pitfalls and damp walls
Em
and rat traps and dead streets
C
G
Arranged to be democratically born
Dm
The son of a company director
F
C
G
Dm
Or a judge's fine and private daughter
D
G
And buttons will be pressed
And rules will be broken
C
Strings will be pulled
And magic words spoken
D
G
C
Invisible fingers will mould
G
Palaces of gold.
