She pushed the baby to the methadone clinic  
Left the pram by the Chinese takeaway 
Stepped inside and felt nothing 
Stepped outside to face the price you pay 
 
Chorus: 
B             D     E 
How you gonna stand it 
How you gonna stand it 
D     E 
Stand it  
Stand it 
A     D       E        A 
Jesus was the sacred son 
Said he was the only one 
 
                D     E         F# 
They nailed him to a rugged cross 
               D        E             A (play riff above)          
And I heard my darling lost her innocence 
 
They cut the cancer from his skin 
He took it home in a little jar 
And tasted it, wondered what it was 
Though he could never think too hard 
 
He got a book and put a song inside 
A heavy metal song he called "The Bet" 
All about alcoholic people 
Ordinary people out of their heads 
_____________ 
Repeat Chorus 
_____________ 
E            F# 
She was huge, He was a runt 
D               
He knocked her down 
E 
He kicked her hard  
F# 
He called her a useless cunt 
E 
He kneeled beside her 
F# 
She kissed him by surprise 
         D 
She said all the fear inside your heart won't 
E 
Bring tears to my eye eye eye  
F#               D   
eyes, whoa whoa whoa 
        E                   A5(heavy)     
I won't cry for you no more 
 
A5 
They're selling fish & chips for just one buck 
Cut your veins don't be sensitive 
D5                                   
You walk Cleveland looking for a fuck 
                  B5             A (riff) 
Jump the tracks and see how we live 
 
Cars collide and buildings rise 
You sit back and draw the curtins 
Cause you can't see tears in her eyes 
You just think nobodys hurt 
_____________ 
Repeat Chorus 
_____________ 
             D     E           F# 
You know Les Darcy died without a friend 
D         E        F# 
Bradmans lost the toss again 
D         E               F# 
Ellwyn Walters pulled his hamstring again 
D           E        F# 
And I can't pay the rent my friend 
        D          E          F# 
And the kids don't know whats happenning 
And the kids don't know whats happenning 
And the kids don't know whats happenning 
        D          E    A (riff) 
And the kids don't know 
   
B            D     E    
Are you gonna stand it 
Are you gonna stand it 
D     E 
Stand it 
Stand it 
A
