  F#Great snakes, are we moving already?F  F#  
Good gravy, did you say it cost a penny or G#mtwo for you?
We're talking 'bout the bad starts
  BMy baby brother has already got a gas mask
  F#'Cause it's a good old-fashioned lFandF#slide
Killin' with your G#mhands tied
In the homemade road, set Bsail
Babe, we read it in The C#Mail, no hope now

  F#Great way to fool me again, hun
Great acting, it's good what you tell 'em
  G#mGreat Britain won't stand for felons
  BGreat British bombs in the Yemen
[Verse 2]
F#Why does it seem
A fever G#mdream for all?

You say you're hungry, but you won't eat the caraway seed
  G#mDoesn't matter in the wreckage, what should you say?
  C#Well, I found myself a little peckish last Tuesday
  F#This is what you signed up for, no questions
Reckon we could offer peace, damn the weapons conG#mventions
Well, it's on the table, but it's no C#good, can't you hear
All our worries for fear, carry F#on
