Tom: Am
F Am D E
I fought hard in the Second World War you'll hear them shout
F Am D E
It's no good bragging about the Afrika Korps it was Beadle's About
F Am D E
They dressed you up and took you off to World War One
F Am D E
Armed you and surrounded you with wire
F Am D E
Sat in stinking mud you sang your stupid songs
F Am D E
And waited til they told you when to fi--re
[CHORUS 1]
C E F D
Cos the rulers always laugh at a video bloodbath
C E F G
Nothing makes them laugh like a video bloodbath
[VERSE 2]
F Am D E
From the first World War to the Yom Kippur it was Beadle's About
F Am D E
The bayonets slice the rockets roar and he jumps out
F Am D E
Fond memories of the bloody bridge you failed to hold
F Am D E
Many of your buddies killed or maimed
F Am D E
You would have shot at rabbits if that's what you'd been told
F Am D E
Til the Generals said "I'm sorry, you've been fra--med"
[CHORUS 2]
C E F D
Cos the rulers always laugh at a video bloodbath
C E F D
Nothing gets a laugh like a video bloodbath
Am Em
Keep those entries coming, keep those cameras running
Am Em
Keep those entrails coming, leave those soldiers gunning
C E F D
Cos you're sure to get a laugh with a video bloodbath
C E F G
Nothing gets a laugh like a video bloodbath
[BRIDGE]
F Am D E
F Am D E
Here's a whacky video we got last week
F Am D E
A bomb catches Arthur unawares
F Am D E
He's lost both his arms and he can't see or speak
F Am D E
But thank you for the memories you sha---red
[CHORUS 3]
C E F D
Cos the rulers always laugh at a video bloodbath
C E F D
Nothing gets a laugh like a video bloodbath
Am Em
Keep those entries coming, keep those cameras running
Am Em
Keep those entrails coming, leave those soldiers gunning
C E F D
Cos you're sure to get a laugh with a video bloodbath
C E F G
Nothing gets a laugh like a video bloodbath
