Well, I think it's fine,   building jumbo planes, 
   D          G6          D          G6
Taking a ride---- on a cosmic train,
   D             G6          D           G6
Switch on summer    from a slot machine,

Yes, get what you wanna, if you want,

'Cause you can get anything!
Em               A               Em                 A

Well, you roll on roads    over fresh green grass,
           D         G6           D         G6
For your lorry loads    pumping petrol gas,
          D            G6          D               G6
And you make them long,   and you make them tough,

Eh, but they just go on, and on, 
                      Cadd9          G6/B
And it seems that you can't get off!
