Look, Ma,

They're gonna fry Tim McVeigh

She said that nice guy
               G                                G7   
Who was on the cover of all of those magazines?
C                                               G
Why would they want to do a thing like that?
                                 D                  G          G7   
I said well, he killed all those people in Oklahoma City
         C                            G
She said nonsense, people don't kill people
      D                  G        G7   
Car bombs kill people
                       C                                        G
And I said well, yeah, Ma But they gotta do something with him
                                 D
She said why don't they get Mike Tyson
                     G   
To bite off both his ears?


[Chorus]
G7        C/G      G            D   
And I say true revolutionaries
           G          G7       C/G /
Never bomb buildings
  /      G            D   
True revolutionaries
           Em          C   
Never bomb buildings
G           D         Em        C   
It attracts too much attention
G     D         G          G      G7   
They never bomb buildings


[Verse 2]
C                           G
A little girl down my block
                                      D
Was born with silicone in her breasts
                   G   
Turned out her grandmother and her mother
     G7                    C
Had both had the implants done
                      G                               D
And, well, evolution took care of it this time around
                            G   
And I wondered what it is about
              G7   
So many women with big breasts
C
Make them look so sad
                     Em
And I thought, well, maybe it has something to do with the weight
   D
The burden they're asked to carry in the world
     G                G7              C
To feed it, to be the object of its desires
                                               Em                     D     G   
And I wondered what burdens the rest of us are carrying all the time
               G7             C/G   
And I couldn't help thinking

[Chorus]
         G           D
True revolutionaries
           Em         C   
Never bomb buildings
G           D        Em         C  
It attracts too much attention
G    D          G          G     G7   
They never bomb buildings


[Verse]
C
And I decided to go out for a walk
       G
And do nothing except
                            D
Look everybody I see in the eyes
                                   G   
And not be the first to avert my eyes
                G7   
No matter what
C                                              G
And I was planning to be gone for ten minutes

But things started happening
      D
And I didn't return for two years
             G               G7                      C
By which time I was the heavyweight champion of the world
                            Em
And the expectant father of sixteen children
   D                        G      G7   
By thirteen different women


[Bridge]
C     G     D     G


[Verse]

I was in a fishing village in coastal Spain
                   D                         G   
It was Our Lady of Abortion Sunday afternoon
                   G7                    C
All the pregnant women in their first trimester
                        G
Filed before the priest to receive the blessing of
          D                         G   
"Try again sometime, try again"
    G7                        C
The old barber had dyed his hair green for the occasion
    G
And pierced his nipples
                        D                                    G   
And was riding his skateboard to the statue of Conan O'Brien
                   G7                 C
Where he was doing backflips for the kids
          Em                                   D     G      G7   
Who threw coins given to them by their parents


[Verse]
C
A visiting lecturer
     G
Achingly handsome
         D
Had just finished giving a
                            G                 G7            C
"How to build bombs in your basement" seminar in the park
                              Em
All the young girls put their notebooks away dreamily
    D                             G      G7        C
And put dandelions in their hair

[Verse]
                                  G                                   D
The chimpanzee who had managed to type out Hamlet three years before
                                      G                        G7   
Was sitting in the third floor office of the driver's license building
C
Typing out zoning ordinances
Em
Typing out learner's permits

Bored and lonely

Pee Wee Herman was sitting in the central square in the grass
D
Naked and masturbating
      G                   G7   
While all the townspeople moved to him slowly
C                       Em
And kissed him softly
                          D          G      G7   
And sung lullabies in the grass


[Verse]
       C
And in Berkeley

And in Greenwich Village
    G
And in Paris
                         D
And in Scottsbluff, Nebraska
                                 G                   G7   
No one sits around funky little coffee shops anymore
                    C
Talking revolution
               G
They get a Starbucks to go
                      D
They go back to their basketball games
           G                         G7   
Where they see who can jump higher
        C
Who can jam
                              G
Who can take it to the rack

And they all wear baseball caps

                                                      D
Because the pro players don't play for teams anymore
                             G   
They play for shoe companies
        G7                  C
And the kids aren't fooled
                               G
They're just biding their time
                              D
Waiting for the millennium to come
                              D
When all the computers will crash
                                   D
Because the best scientists in the world
                         D               C/G   
Forgot to make them read    two          zero


[Chorus]

Never bomb buildings
         G            D

           Em        C

G           D          Em        C   
It attracts too much attention

They never bomb buildings


[Bridge]
G     C     G     C     G     


[Verse]
C                                         G
And I was sitting there with a headful of dark thoughts
          D           G   
Like I sometimes get
                        G7   
And suddenly everything cleared
C                                         G
And I realized that the only purpose to revolution
                               D
Is to be able to love who you want

How you want
G   
When you want
G7   
Where you want
C                            G
So I took off all my clothes

Stole a boat
D
Rowed out to the middle of a lake
G               G7       C
And I jumped in
                         G
And I looked back at you and said
         D        D           C/G /
Come on!          Get wet!


[Chorus]
  /      G           D
True revolutionaries
           G        G7      C/G /
Never bomb buildings
  /      G           D
True revolutionaries
           Em        C   
Never bomb buildings
G           D        Em         C   
It attracts too much attention
G    D          Em        C   
They never bomb buildings
G    D          Em        C   
They never bomb buildings
G    D          Em        C   
They never bomb buildings
