[Verse 1]
FGenocidal tendencies are Csilly to extreme
FAfter all you're still quite small, you Cdon't know where you've CbeenD
GYou was only Aswearing yesterDday, Oh you want to win the world aGway
But Anow you got nothing to DsayC Esus4 E
[Chorus]
ABoy, you're getting out of Dhand, you've got to make a Estand, so put the coke aAwayE
ABoy, you got the do the Dshow, got to let the people Eknow, you've got the strength to stay
[Bridge]
A I can see you C#mrun, I can see you B#mhide, Oh your Eheart is aching
A Lost in a F#mdream of what Bmmight have beenE
A You're the guidC#me, you're the number Bmone and your Eknees are shaking
A Stand and deF#mliver in an Bmendless dreamE E
[Verse 3]
FSchizophrenic, photogenic, Caggravates me so
FOnly yes men have a guess man, Cwatch the spirit CgoD
GBatman zips the Amonster as he Dbleeds and gets off on the buzz he Gneeds
And a Akid on the street just Dreads and reads and reads and Creads
And Ereads and reads and reads
[Chorus]
ABoy, its them hard case city Dblues, Cagney is the Enews, does "The Giant" ring a AbellE?
ABoy, its the Hudson East River Dcruise, its the Empire State of Ebooze, Oh you know the story well
[Bridge]
A Do you have to C#mrun, do you have to B#mhide, there's a Enew tomorrow
A Yes, you're a F#mmess, but you're Bmmore than lessE
A When this battle's C#mwon, you can look inBmside, all you Edid not borrow
A Yes you're the F#mbest, but you Bmstill can't restE
You know you Amknow, the Dcarnival is Gclosed
Your Estreets are lined with Amghosts, but a Dprincess don't look Gback
Don't Elook back don't look Amround, your Dvision is your Gfight
Through Elong electric Amnights, when a Cwoman helps you Fwrite
[Interlude]
Na na Cna. Na na Gna. FNa
Na na Cna. Na na Gna

[Bridge]
GCheer up mate put the Adramas in the Dpast, see you did not have to Gfast
AEuphemism lasts and Dlasts and lasts and lasts and Clasts and Elasts and lasts and lasts
[Chorus]
ABoy, if you've got an axe to Dgrind, be thankful for this Etime, for it gives you what you AneedE
ABoy, you've got an eighty-eight to Dplay, it'll tell you what to Esay, it'll tell you when to AbreatheE
[Chorus]
ABoy, take a turnpike heading Dwest, turn the people on to Beau EGeste, cause that's what you did the AbestE
ABoy, play the pipes till they're old and Dworn, sing the words till they fall forElorn
Like the pieces of a jigsaw AjetE
[Chorus]
ABoy, don't let the earth get in your Dface, its a middle-aged disEplace, its the middle ages AsnideE
ABoy, we're a million miles away and to think its so insan, take a chance on a one way ride
[Chorus]
ABoy, shoot a rocket clean out of your Dmind, Oh these people ain't your Ekind, no they ain't your kind at AallE
ABoy, shoot a rocket clean out of your Dbrain. No these people ain't the Esame, you can hear another AcallE
[Chorus]
ABoy, the other book starts with Dno, they don't show us how to Egrow, they only show us how to AwinE
ABoy, the secret's in the bicycle Dshed, in't no answers now they're Edead, to seek is a mortal AsinE
Hey, you know Aboy let your madness be the DclueE A E
