that you should [Gm]know
[D]They say their lines, they drink their tea[G],
and then they [Gm]go
[A]They tell your business
in a[D]nother Shangri- la
The [D]gas bills and the water rates,
and [G]payments on the [Gm]car
[D]Too scared to think about
how [G]insecure you [Gm]are
[A]Life ain't so happy
in your [D]little Shangri- la
