Made your bed you betterlie in it you
Choose your leaders and place your trust

Kid-ney machines re-placed by rockets and guns and the
Public wants what the public gets but
I don't get what this so-ci-e-ty wants

---------------------------------------------
Only knowing the chords doesn't really help play this.
You have to listen to get the right 'chu_gg - chu_gg - ching - eh - eh - eh'
rhythm at the start.
Hope the layout makes sense, it was a real pain to try and
set it out correctly. The first two lines in the verses run
together a bit.
