Take all your overgrown infants away, somewhere,
D Bb+ Bm
And build them a home, a little place of their own.
Em D Em7 D G - C
The "Fletcher Memorial Home" for incurable tyrants and kings.
G C - 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.
C D Em
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,
G D C
A group of anonymous Latin-american meat packing glitterati."
Em D
Did they expect us to treat them with any respect,
G D C
They can polish their medals and sharpen their smiles,
G D G
And amuse themselves playing games for a while,
D C Em
Boom, Boom, Bang, Bang, lie down you're dead.
[Guitar Solo]
G C G Am
Safe in their permanent gaze of a cold glass eye,
D Bb+ Bm
With their favorite toys, they'll be good girls and boys,
Em C D Em7 D G
In the "Fletcher Memorial Home" for colonial wasters of life and limb.
D C G C
Is everone in, are you having a nice time?
D C Em
Now the final solution can be applied.
