 Intro: D A
 
 E                         E D A 
 The world owes me a living
 E                                   E D A 
 I waited on this dole queue too long
 E                                                   
 I've been standin' in the rain for fifteen minutes -
        D             A             E 
 that's a quarter of an hour too long
 
 A    E    A    E  
 oh oh ho, oh oh ho
 
 E                             E D A 
 I'll take all they can give me
 E                              E D A 
 And then I'm gonna ask for more
 E                                                 
 Cos the money's buried deep in the bank of England
       D        A            E  
 and I want the key to the vault
 
 Chorus: A F#m N.C. D
 E   A D E                                                 
  I'm gonna take your money! Count your loss when I'm gone.
 A F#m N.C. D E
 N.C. D A
 I'm alright Jack! Lookin' after number one
 
 E                           E D A 
 If I want something I get it
 E                             E D A 
 Don't matter what I have to do
 E                                             
 I'll step on your face, on your mother's grave
 D            A      E                   
 never underestimate me I'm nobody's fool
 
 A    E    A    E  
 oh oh ho, oh oh ho
 
 E                         D A 
 I don't owe no-one nothing
 E                            D A 
 If it's me, they must come to
 E     E     E      E   
 Stop, look, think, baby
 D        A          E                         
 I always get what I want and I want to get you
 
 (Repeat chorus)
 
 E        A                E         A                
  Don't wanna be like you, I don't wanna live like you
 E        A         D     A        
  Don't wanna talk like you, at all

 A (like don't wanna be ... bit)
 
 E                               D A 
 Don't give me love thy neighbour
 E                    D A 
 Don't give me charity
 E                                                   
 Don't give me peace and love or the good lord above,
 D        A         E                         
 you only get in my way with your stupid ideas
 
 E             D A 
 I am an island
 E               D A 
 Entire of myself
 E                                   
 And when I get old, older than today
 D          A              E               
 I'll never need anybody's help in any way.
 
 (Repeat chorus)
 
 E        A                E         A                
  Don't wanna be like you, I don't wanna live like you
 E        A         D     A        
  Don't wanna talk like you, at all
 
 E                  E                  E                   A  
 I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like - Me!
