Take all your overgrown infants away, somewhere,

                 D              Bb+            Bm    A/C#
And build them a home, a little place of their own.

And they can appear to themselves every day,

                  D            Bb+                Bm      A/B  Bm
On closed circuit T.V. to make sure they're still real.

C                   D         Em
It's the only connection they feel.

The memories of Nixon. And now adding colour,

  G                  D/F#                C
A group of anonymous Latin-American meat packing glitterati."


Em                                           D
Did they expect us to treat them with any respect?

         G            D/F#       C
They can polish their medals and sharpen their smiles,

     G          D/F#         C
And amuse themselves playing games for a while.

Boom boom, bang bang, lie down you're dead.

Safe in the permanent gaze of a cold glass eye,

                    D                Bb+            Bm
With their favorite toys, they'll be good girls and boys.
