You've got to pick up the pieces c'mon, sort your trash 
G5 
You better pull yourself back together maybe you've got too much cash 
F5                         C5 
Better call, call the law when you gonna turn yourself in? Yeah 
G5 
You're a politician don't become one of Hitler's children 

   A5                            G5                    F5 
   Bonzo goes to bitburg then goes out for a cup of tea 
   As I watched it on TV somehow it really bothered me 
   Drank in all the bars in town for an extended foreign policy 
   F5 
   Pick up the pieces 
C5            G5                  F5 
No no-no-no, my brain is hanging upside down 
No no-no-no, I need something to slow me down 
No no-no-no, my brain is hanging upside down 
C5            G5 
No no-no-no, and I need something to slow me down 

Shouldn't wish you happiness, wish her the very best 
Fifty thousand dollar dress shaking hands with your highness 
See through you like cellophane you watch the world complain, but you do it 
anyway who am I, am I to say 

   Bonzo goes to Bitburg and goes out for a cup of tea... 

No no-no-no, my brain is hanging upside down... 
 D5  A5  G5 + Riff1  x4 
D5 
If there's one thing that makes me sick 
A5                                 G5 
It's when someone tries to hide behind politics 
D5 
I wish that time could go by fast 
A5                      G5 
Somehow they manage to make it last 
D5            A5                  G5 
No no-no-no, my brain is hanging upside down 
No no-no-no, I need something to slow me down 
No no-no-no, my brain is hanging upside down 
No no-no-no, and I need something to slow me down
