[C] What's the matter with the [Em]clothes I'm wearing?

[Em] "Where have you been hidin' [Am]out lately, honey?
You [Em]can't dress trashy till you [D]spend a lot of [G]money."

[C] Oh, [G] it doesn't matter what they [F]say in the papers,
Cause it's [E]always been the same old [Am]scene.

From a [E]story in a [Ab]magazine,
[Eb]Aimed at your average [F]teen.[G]
Verse 3
[C] How about a pair of [Em]pink sidewinders
And a [Bb]bright orange pair of [F]pants?

If you [Bb]just give it half a [F]chance."

[Em] "Don't waste your money on a [Am]new set of speakers.
You [Em]get more mileage from a [D]cheap pair of [G]sneakers."

It's [Am]still rock and [G]roll to [C]me.
