 *from 'Bad Love' (1999)*
 
 Verse 1:
 
      Dm   Am          Bb      F      C7          F     
 When Karl Marx were a boy, he took a hard look a-round.
        Am7b5       D7           Gm       Gm/D  
 He saw people were starving all over the place,
       C7          C7          F     
 While others were painting the town.
 
 Verse 2:
 
     F      Gm7      F             F/C    C7       F   
 The public spirited boy, became a public spirited man.
       Dm          Am           Bb         F/A   
 So he worked very hard, and he read every-thing,
    G7                    C    
 Un-til he came up with a plan.
 
 Bridge 1:
 
          F     A7     Dm             Dm     F7     Bdim7 
 There'll be no exploi-tation, of the worker or his kin.
 Dm      A7    Dm               Bb     E       A7   
  No dis-crimi-nation, 'cos the colour of your skin.
 
 Dm       Bbdim7  Bdim7  G#dim7 Adim7     F#dim7  C7  
  No more private proper-ty; it would not be allo-wed.
        C#                                 F            
 No one could rise too high, no once could sink too low,
       F         Bb            G7          C    
 Or go under com-pletely, like some we all know.
 
 Verse 3:
 
    F         Gm7       F            F         C7           F     
 If Marx were living to-day, He'd be rolling a-round in his grave.
 
        Dm        Am          Bb             F/A  
 And if I had him here, in my mansion on the hill,
     Dm         Am             Bb                   F/A   
 I'd tell him a story; t'would give his old heart a chill.
      G7                         C  
 It's something that happened to me.
 
 Break:
 
          Ab     B        F         Ab     B        F  
 I'd say, Karl I recently stumbled, into a new fami-ly.
      C#         E           Bb            C#         G7              C  
 With two little children in school, where all little children should be.
   Ab          B     F       Ab            B            F     
 I went to the orien-tation; all the young mommies were there.
 
 Verse 4:
 
           Dm         Am          Bb       F/A   
 Karl, you never have seen such a glorious sight,
          Dm        Am/C      Bb            F     
 As these beautiful women, ar-rayed for the night.
 
           C#          Ab         Bbm/F           F      
 Just like Countesses, Empresses, movie stars and queens.
            G7                                 C  
 And they'd come there with mith men much like me;
 F         C       Bb          C   
  Froggish men, un-pleasant to see.
             C#              Bb      C7                 F  
 Were you to kiss one, Karl; merry a prince would there be.
 
 Chorus 1:
 
     Dm        Bb7         F        Bb        E          F  
 See Karl, the world isn't fair; it isn't and never will be.
 
      Gm7            F                Bb        F     
 They tried out your plan; it brought misery in-stead.
          Gm7           F                   Bb            F    
 If you'd seen how they worked it, you'd be glad you were dead.
           Bb           F                              
 Just like I'm glad I'm living in the land of the free,
        Bb          F    
 In the land of the free,
           Bb            F             Bb             A7           Dm    
 Where the rich just get richer, and the poor you don't ever have to see.
 
             Gdim                       F      
 It would de-press us, Karl, because we care...
          Fdim         C7      F    
 That the world, still isn't...fair.
