1. We don’t like this man’s policy. We don’t think he’s telling the truth.

G F C G F C

He’s in the pay of unspeakable slime. His velvet tongue hides a shark’s tooth.

D F G D F G

But his voice is so reassuring that we want the words to make sense.

D F C G F C G F C

And we vote for him cause we like his confidence.

G F C G F C

2. In an artsy bar, a smart woman is watching her date converse.

G F C G F C

She’s promised herself she won’t get involved with men who seem too well rehearsed.

D F G D F G

But he keeps on saying he’s sensitive. After four drinks, she still feels tense,

D F C G F C G F C

and it feels so good to relax in his confidence.

Bridge: When he gets rude and mean you say you like his spunk,

D E F# G F#

while I try really hard; you don’t even thank me.

D E F# D E F#

Well it’s a thin line between a bastard and a hunk

G A A# G F C G F C

and he can bring it off, and I can’t and that makes me angry.

G F C G F C

3. This commercial is so insulting; the sound blares to break your eardrum.

G F C G F C

The product’s claims are so ludicrous - do they really think I’m that dumb?

D F G D F G

But when I see that brand on the counter, a voice like a distant friend’s

D F C G F C G F C

says “You know me - come on into my confidence.”
