The latest I looked at this was the live version on
|
"The Last Rock and Roll Tour" - Graham parker and The Figgs.
|
This version works fairly well for me now.
|
|
Intro: B / E / B / E (twice)
|
First B 799677 First E 779997 Second B 224442 Second E 022100
|
|
B E B E B E B E
|
The jug heads hit the city from every country round the globe
|
B E B E B E B E
|
The ships pulled in the drinks were free the ticker tape came out in rolls
|
B E B E B E B E
|
I was sitting in a bar watching this on TV
|
B E B E B E B E
|
To me it looked like a failure but they called it victory
|
|
BRIDGE 1
|
G#m B C#m7 F#
|
Well if you can sleep at night go ahead that's great
|
G#m B C#m7 F#
|
You're just dreaming anyway if you don't get irate
|
|
CHORUS (twice)
|
B E B E B E B E
|
Come on turn it into hate Turn it into hate
|
|
Send your little boys and girls to go and play in a giant sandbox
|
Put your movie stars on the cover of People for goin' in for a detox
|
Let your happy-face news readers share a little joke
|
at the end of the night's transmission
|
Let's see the world through the eyes
|
of some clown gonna make all of your decisions
|
|
BRIDGE 2
|
Well if you can sleep at night go ahead that's great
|
It's all been manufactured like the junk that's on your plate
|
|
CHORUS REPEAT, THEN INSTRUMENTAL BREAK, THEN INTRO REPEAT
|
|
Some of them lead the marching band suddenly they're war heroes
|
Some of them fall in a foreign land Suddenly they're just zeroes
|
Some of us go back to sleep Some of us learn to fear it
|
There's a siren blowin' in your heart You just don't want to hear it
|
|
BRIDGE 3
|
Well if you can sleep at night go ahead that's all right
|
Ah just don't start a fight with anyone rich and white
|
|
CHORUS REPEAT
|
B E B E B E B E
|
Turn it, turn it, turn it, turn it Turn it into hate
|
