Lyrics

"What have we here then?
That girl's got shorter hair than her boyfriend
What is it with the kids these days?"
And the way his head goes straight to his back
It almost gave me a heart attack
I could tell he was an animal

So let's hear it for the salt of the earth
I guess your narrow sight
Has seen you right since birth
C'mon, raise your glass, let's have some noise
Release your hate boys

Oh, work is over, it's time to cut loose
The night's alive, the night's alive
Time to pay your dues to your misplaced frustrations
Got a rant from a prat
Sitting there chewing his fat
He made it clear I wasn't his mate
Didn't concern me at all

The night's alive, the night's alive
The night's alive, yeah right
I can't believe the bother you're giving me

What have we here then
Some red-neck pissing his hard earned money
Down his throat
Just to let off some steam built from a hard week's work
Like the weekend and the weekend before
With an excuse to shout out to the world
Just what a bigot he is

Tabs

Guitar

Tuning:Standard EADGBe (Yes, I realise that it's probably really played with everything 
down a step, I can just never be bothered.
This is a tab for lazy people like me who hate having to constantly retune their 
:P)

No claims to being exact or complete, but it does the job. Play around with it a bit.
