I'm gonna put it in the fruit machine

[Bridge]

                E                         C
And they didn't teach me that in school
E                                C
It's something that I learnt on my own
E                                                 A
That power is measured by the pound on the fist
A
It's as clear as this
C   D    G
  Hey!
