Verse 1
E 
In the not very distant future 
When everything will be free 
B 
There won't be any cute secrets 
E 
Let alone any novelty 
 
You can say anything you want to 
                              B 
In your fetching cloak of anonymity 
Are you feeling out of breath now? 
E                           A    E 
In your desperate pursuit of infamy 
Em         G 
Two lovers rocking up and down 
Am 
In an elevator 
C 
15 minutes later 
Em             G 
They'll make a k*lling in the market 
Am 
They know how to work it 
C 
On that close circuit 
 
Chorus
D 
My, my, it's a terrible disgrace 
G      D           Em        D 
You'll find these days that there's 
  C       G 
No hiding place 
 
Verse 2
Em              G 
How proud you are 
            Am 
You got the knack 
   C      D 
Of howling in a vacuum 
Em 
Whatever I said about you 
         Am       B         Em 
I didn't say it behind your back 
           G           Am 
I paid for my immortal sins 
           D           Em 
I know the enemy within you 
      G 
As it seems these days 
      Am    Bm     E 
There is no hiding place 
 
Verse 3
E 
Next time someone wants to hurt you 
Or set alight your effigy 
B 
Don't call on me to help you out 
E 
Don't come crying to me for sympathy 
You stay there with your daubs and scratches 
                          B 
While I summon up the red machine 
 
I'll be handing somebody matches 
E                    A    E 
And carrying a can of kerosene 
 
Em         G 
Walk up to me 
And say what you said 
Am                      C 
Let's see how brave you are 
                    Em 
When I'm about this far 
           G 
You sit in judgment and bitch 
      Am 
Well, baby that's rich 
       C 
You're nothing but a snitch 
 
Chorus
D 
My, my, it's a terrible disgrace 
D 
My, my, it's a terrible disgrace 
D 
My, my, it's a terrible disgrace 
G      D            Em        D 
You'll find these days that there's 
  C       G 
No hiding place
