Lyrics

[Verse 1]
G                       C            G/B Am
Take all your overgrown infants away somewhere
                 D
And build them a home,
         Bbaug          Bm
a little place of their own.
A/C# D   Em                C
     The Fletcher Memorial Home for Incurable
D      Em7 D/F# G     C
Tyrants    and  Kings.

[Verse 2]
G                      C
They can appear to themselves every day
G/B Am                    D
      On closed circuit T.V.
        Bbaug              Bm
To make sure they're still real.
A/B Bm
C                    D         Em
 It's the only connection they feel.

[Bridge]
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome,
Cmaj7
Reagan and Haig,
Mister Begin and friend,
       D
Missis Thatcher, and Paisly,
       Cmaj7
Mister Brezhnev and party.
The ghost of McCarthy,
And the memories of Nixon.
    D
And now, adding colour,
  G                  D/F#          C
a group of anonymous LatinAmerican meat packing glitterati.

[Verse 3]
Em                                           D
Did they expect us to treat them with any respect?

[Chorus]
         G            D/F#       C
They can polish their medals and sharpen their
Smiles,
     G              D/F#        C
and amuse themselves    playing games for a while.
G          D/F#
 Boom boom,    bang bang,
C                     Emadd9
 lie down you're dead.

[Verse 4]
G                     C              G/B   Am
Safe in the permanent gaze of a cold glass eye
                    D
With their favorite toys
           Bbaug          Bm
They'll be good girls and boys
A/C# D   Em                C
In   the Fletcher Memorial Home for colonial
D          Em7 D/F#    G
Wasters of life    and limb.
   D/F#
Is everyone in?

[Chorus]
C        G      D/F#     Cadd9
 Are you having a   nice time?
G        D/F#    C                     Emadd9
 Now the final solution can be applied.
