E     B                                                       E
Well I saw it clear today that we were all more than  only  refugees
        B
And the heads of state called out all of their reserves
                                  E
So they could postpone World War III
C#m                                                               B
I can hear the morning crier yellin read all about it  here's the
truth
        F#m                       A             B           E
You are either just the newspaper boy or you're either Babe Ruth
E   B
Now how could we have been  put upon this planet
                                    E
Fools enough to think that we could be
    B                                                           E
The first to form a civilized envolvement from the charismatic sea
C#m
There's a ten year old in the alley
                                            B
Throws a hard ball off the wall that is the truth
                F#m                       A             B           E
He knows you're either just the newspaper boy or you're either Babe
Ruth

The home run king

G  O

   B
We can all dream up some explicit rationalized dream
                  E
Of exactly who we are
B
While the rockin rolling home run king
                                        E
Keeps the black madonna sleepin with a star
C#m
Now it doesn't matter how much bread you can spend
                            B
So you can hold the center booth
        F#m                       A             B           E
You are either just the newspaper boy or you're either Babe Ruth
