Lyrics

You walk around in circles
  I walk around in squares
  Another round of musical chairs
  And maybe no one really cares
  About the way we walk
  The record stores are out of stock
  And all we want is bloody rock and roll
  And clearly this is not the way to go
  
  I saw it in the mirror
  The ghost of Chairman Mao
  He had three money symbols on his brow
  And he will show the children how
  To wear their cowboy boots
  Bowler hats and prison suits
  And watch while Neil Armstrong shoots the moon
  But he's never gonna get there by balloon
  (Ooh.)
  
  I thought you weren't allowed here
  I thought they crossed your name
  And that would be your only claim to fame
  Well, it's a big fat crying shame
  The way you lost your touch
  The soapbox weighed a bit too much
  And all this talking feels like such a waste
  And now you've crossed the boundaries of good taste
  Your only option now's to be replaced

Musical Chairs (alternate version)

As the 6th bonus track on Damn Skippy, an alternate version of Musical Chairs with different instruments and a lack of the last verse were included, this was kept in the 2023 remaster of Damn Skippy as the second bonus track on the album.
