[Verse 1]
AmEmAmEm
Here we go, doing nothing again
Am
You can come if you'd like
EmAmEm
But please don't bring your friends
AmEm
Action Man's gone to the cleaners
AmEm
Barbie is working the streets
AmEmAmEm
They took her in, with a handful of sweets
[Pre-chorus]
F
What can you do? What can you say?
FAmEmAm
They give me disease on the medium wave
F
I've got things to do, people to see
F
I've got no time, please don't bother me…
[Chorus]
CG
They put all the books on the bonfire
A#F
Two-thousand years in a flame
CG
I run like a horse in a fairground
A#F
Rewind me and play me again
AmEmAmEm
[Verse 2]
AmEmAmEm
Once I was a boy, which seems funny to me
AmEmAmEm
Yes, I threw my stones, read my books, climbed those trees
AmEm
What can I say to you mister?
AmEm
Yes, I've been drinking again
AmEmAmEm
You can beat my brains, but don't kiss me again
[Pre-chorus]
F
I've always been like this, since I was young
FAmEmAm
I'm a truculent bigot, I revel in scum
F
We used to converse, so long ago
F
Now we're existing in a personal stereo
[Chorus]
CG
They put all the books on the bonfire
A#F
Two-thousand years in a flame
CG
I run like a horse in a fairground
A#F
Rewind me and play me again
[Middle]
N.C.
How'd you feel? I can't use my eyes...
N.C.
What you say?
N.C.
Thanks for my surprise…

[Refrain]
G
I wasn't listening, I didn't know
G
Tell me what happened, where did I go?
G
I'm pulling my hair, I lay on the floor
G
The paper's aren't funny, not funny no more
[Chorus 2]

They put all the books on the bonfire

Yes, I run like a horse in a fairground

Rewind me and play me again

Oh, I wasn't listening, I didn't know

I'm pulling my hair, I lay on the floor

The paper's aren't funny, not funny no more
D
I've always been like this, since I was young
A
I'm a truculent bigot, I revel in scum
CG
You can beat my brains, beat my brains, beat my brains
G
But don't kiss me again
[Chorus 3]
DA
They put all the books on the bonfire
CG
Two-thousand years in a flame (Two-thousand years in a flame)

Yes, I run like a horse in a fairground (Yes, I run like a horse in a fairground)
CG
Beat my brains, beat my brains, beat my brains
G
But don't kiss me again
