GCGAm
Take all your overgrown infants away, somewhere,
D Bb+ Bm
And build them a home, a little place of their own.
EmDEm7DG - C
The "Fletcher Memorial Home" for incurable tyrants and kings.
GC - G - Am7
And they can appear to themselves everyday,
D Bb+ Bm - Am - Bm
On closed circuit TV, to make sure they're still real.
CDEm
It's the only connection they feel.
Cmaj7
"Ladies and gentlemen: please welcome Reagan and Haig,
D
Mr. Begin and friend, Mrs. Thatcher and Paisley,
Cmaj7
Mr. Brezhnev and party, the ghost of McCarthy,
D
The memories of Nixon. And now adding colour,
GDCA group of anonymous Latin-american meat packing glitterati."
EmD
Did they expect us to treat them with any respect,
GDC
They can polish their medals and sharpen their smiles,
GDG
And amuse themselves playing games for a while,
DCEm
Boom, Boom, Bang, Bang, lie down you're dead.
Guitar Solo
GCGAm
Safe in their permanent gaze of a cold glass eye,
D Bb+ Bm
With their favorite toys, they'll be good girls and boys,
EmCDEm7DG
In the "Fletcher Memorial Home" for colonial wasters of life and limb.
DCGC
Is everone in, are you having a nice time?
DCEm
Now the final solution can be applied.
