There’s a schoolgirl
standin’ on the corner,
C
Em
I guess she wants to pay her way.
C
D
I suppose somebody ought to warn her,
C
Em
But she just found a trick and turned away.
D
C
There’s a plastic tree in every window,
D

A man in a crazy hat who’s lookin’ thin.
D

A fat man stuffed with pillows says it’s Christmas,
Em

Em
I'm taking bets. Who’s Gonna Win?
D / Em / Am / Am7
There’s a young man drinkin’ like it’s
Friday,
There’s a young girl lookin’ for some coke.
I suppose if some one called out "Fire!",
They’d only laugh; think it was a joke.
There’s a man eatin’ chicken for his breakfast,
An old lady goin’ through his bin.
A man with a pistol looking desperate,
I'm taking bets. Who’s gonna win?
Bridge
D
C
Who’s gonna win? It’s a rat race, it’s a jungle, it’s a war.
D
C
As you struggle through another day, do you stop and ask, What For?
G
D
When you get up in the morning and super glue your grin,
C
Em
Do you look into the mirror, and ask, Who’s Gonna Win?
D / Em / Am / Am7
Well, the plastic trees are shinin’ in the
windows,
The crazy hat man shuffles with a grin.
The fat man dressed in red has lost his pillows,
And he now looks incredibly thin.
And the schoolgirl she is having an abortion,
A lady with a cross said, "It’s a sin!"
And I’m still standin’ on the corner,
Bets are off. Nobody wins.
D Em
Bets are off. Nobody wins.
D C6
Bets are off. Nobody wins.
