Charlie don't surf and we think he should

Charlie don't surf for his hamburger Momma

RIFF (you can strum with a x-x-0-4-0-2 ? rather than the riff)

Everybody wants to rule the world
Must be something we get from birth
One truth is we never learn
Satelites will make space burn

D                  Bm
We've been told to keep the strangers out

D                  Bm
We don't like them starting to hang around

D                  Em7
We don't like them over town

F#m7
Across the world we are going to mow them down

CHORUS

RIFF
The reign of the super powers must be over
So many armies can't free the earth
Soon the rock will roll over
Africa is choking on their Coca Cola

D                            Bm
It's a one a way street in a one horse town

D               Bm
One way people starting to bragg around

D              Em7
You can laugh, put them dowm

F#m7
These one way people gonna mow us down

CHORUS
