Tom: G

G                       C             G   Am
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                     Em9
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.
