Em
To die for his mother country
C
isn't every fathers wish
D
But if you're ever feeling hungry
Em
feast your eyes on this
Em
Bullied beat up cabbaged kids
C
to be patched up by the nurse
D
who's carrying the baggage in
Em
for the private patients first
(Em, C, D, Em)
(Em, C, D, Em)
Em
and the doctor's praying to Buddha
C
"Send me to another town!"
D
A shovelful of sugar
Em
won't help that medicine go down
Em
As the actress said to the bishop
C
I stand accused your Grace
D
of the seven deadly cynicisms
Em
and a total lack of faith
G C D Bm
And if I put this gun against my head
G C D
and pull the trigger I'll be dead
G C D
But if I listen to my heart
Bm G
it say's Billy that ain't smart
C D
so I'll do something else instead
Em
(Billy's smart, Bily's smart, circus for the bleeding hearts
feed the world, heal the sick, take the piss out of the shit
live your life without a net, stick your head down a lion's neck
and listen to the people cheer send in the clowns
don't bother they're here)
Em
To die for his mother's country
C
isn't every fathers wish
D
But if you're ever feeling hungry
Em
feast your eyes on this
Em
under funded O.A.P.s
C
turn to life of crime
D Em
The great cucumber robberies of 1989
Em
Send 'em down and bang 'em up
C
in a South London maisonette
D
unlicensed and unregistered
Em
it shouldn't happen to a vet
Em
As the actress said to the bishop
C
the Rabbi and the Priest
D
My eyes have seen the glory
Em
I'm a born again atheist
G C D Bm
And if I put this gun against my head
G C D
and pull the trigger I'll be dead
G C D
But if I listen to my heart
Bm G
it say's Billy that ain't smart
C D
so I'll shoot someone else instead
G C D Bm
And if I put this gun against my head
G C D
and pull the trigger I'll be dead
G C D
But if I listen to my heart
Bm G
it say's Billy that ain't smart
C D
so I'll shoot someone else instead
Em
