Two Little Hitlers (from the album *Armed Forces*)


A (x02220@1)               EWhy (022100@1)are we racing to be so old?
A (x02220@1)                           EI'm (022100@1)up late pacing the floor I won't be told
A (x02220@1)                        E (022100@1)           DYou (xx0232@1)have your reservations I'm bought and sold
DI'll (xx0232@1)face the music I'll face the facts
EEven (022100@1)when we walk in polka dots and chequer slacks
A (x02220@1)                  EBowing (022100@1)and squawking Running after titbits
A (x02220@1)                   E7Bobbing (020130@1)and squinting Just like a nitwit

(CHORUS)
DTwo (xx0232@1)little Hitlers will fight it out until
E (022100@1)                                    AOne (x02220@1)little Hitler does the other one's will
  D (xx0232@1)     E (022100@1)          D (xx0232@1)         EI (022100@1)will    return     I will    not burn


Down in the basement
A (x02220@1)                     EI (022100@1)need my head examined I need my eyes excited
A (x02220@1)                        E7I'd (020130@1)like to join the party But I was not invited
A (x02220@1)                     E7You (020130@1)make a member of me I'll be delighted
DI (xx0232@1)wouldn't cry for lost souls, you might drown
EDirty (022100@1)words for dirty minds Written in a toilet town
A (x02220@1)                 E7Dial (020130@1)me a Valentine She's a smooth operator
A (x02220@1)                    E7It's (020130@1)all so calculated She's got a calculator
A (x02220@1)                            E7She's (020130@1)my soft touch typewriter And I'm the great dictator

(Chorus)



                      AA (x02220@1)simple game of self-respect
E (022100@1)                        AYou (x02220@1)flick a switch and the world goes off
E (022100@1)                   ANobody (x02220@1)jumps as you expect
E (022100@1)                                 F#m (244222@1)         EI (022100@1)would have thought you would have had enough by now
A (x02220@1)                       E7You (020130@1)call selective dating For some effective mating
A (x02220@1)                              E7I (020130@1)thought I'd let you down, dear But you were just deflating
A (x02220@1)                         E7I (020130@1)knew right from the start We'd end up hating
DPictures (xx0232@1)of the merchandise Plastered on the wall
EWe (022100@1)can look so long as we don't have to talk at all
A (x02220@1)                           E7You (020130@1)say you'll never know him He's an unnatural man
A (x02220@1)                           AHe (x02220@1)doesn't want your pleasure He wants as no one can
A (x02220@1)                           E7He (020130@1)wants to know the names of All those he's better than

(Chorus)
  D (xx0232@1)    EI (022100@1)will return
  D (xx0232@1)      EI (022100@1)will not burn  . . . . .
