Lyrics:

(Part A)
A             E  
City dweller, succesful fella
Bm
thought to himself,  oops I`ve got alot of money
D               C#/D?    C#
I`m caught in a rat race terminally
      A                          E
I`m a professional cynic, but my hearts not in it
    Bm
I`m paying the price of living life at the limit
D                  C#/D?     C#     
  caught up in the centuries anxiety

(Part B)
E
It preys on him, he`s getting thin

(Part C)
A                                                E
Now he lives in a house, a very big house in the country
         D                                             A 
watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country
A                                                             E  
He takes all manner of pills an piles up analyst bills in the country
             D                                      A
It`s like an animal farm lots of rural charm in the country


(Part A)
He`s got morning glory and life`s a different story
everything going jackanory in touch with his own mortality
He`s reading Balzac, knocking back Prozac
it`s a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland
Oh, it`s the centuries remedy

(Part B)
For the faint at heart, a new start

(Part C)
He lives in a house, a very big house in the country 
He`s got a fog in his chest so he needs alot of rest in the country
He doesn`t drink smoke laugh he takes herbal baths in the country
Oh it`s like an animal farm but you`ll come to no harm in the country

(No guitar)
Blow, blow me out I am so sad I don`t know why x2
