[Verse1]
GCD
Oh, the young and in love won’t dream on the moon,
GCD
And the month of December won’t come until June
GCD
All the heroes will cry and the gays will love girls,
CDG
It’s the beautiful wreck of the world.
GCD
The sun will turn blue and the black will be white,
GCD
And midday and high noon will take place at night
GCD
Dead men will roar and the swine will wear pearls,
CDG
It’s the beautiful wreck of the world.
[Chorus]
CDG
And we’ll all fall down,
AmCD
As the proud Queen of England eats pie from her crown
CDEmD
And we’ll all get high, you and I:
CDG
It’s the beautiful wreck of the world.
[Verse2]
GCD
All the kings on the earth will vacate their throne,
GCD
And the tramps and the beggars will have a new home
GCD
The bent will be straight and the straight will be curled,
CDG
It’s the beautiful wreck of the world.
GCD
Oh, the raindrops that fall will rise in the air,
GCD
MTV rock and rollers will lose all their hair
GCD
You may think I’m kidding but I mean it I swear,
CDG
It’s the beautiful wreck of the world.
[Chorus]
CDG
And we’ll all fall down,
AmCD
As the proud Queen of England eats pie from her crown
CDEmD
And we’ll all get high, you and I:
CDG
It’s the beautiful wreck of the world.
[Break]
GDCD
Lie lie lie lie,
GDCD
Lie lie lie lie,
GDCD
Lie lie lie lie,
CD7G
Lie lie lie.
[Verse3]
GCD
All political prisoners will be set free;
GCD
Every one of their jailors will slide in the sea
GCD
Old rivals will shake hands, flags will be furled:
CDG
It’s the beautiful wreck of the world.
GCD
All the bankers in town will give money away free,
GCD
And Jennifer Lopez will make love to me
GCD
You may not believe it but just wait and see:
CDG
It’s the beautiful wreck of the world.
(Slower)
GCD
The preachers on TV will find true romance,
GCD
And the world’s politicians will shut up and dance
GCD
And Madonna Ciccone will put on her pants:
CDG
It’s the beautiful wreck of the world.
[Chorus]
CDG
And we’ll all fall down,
AmCD
As the proud Queen of England eats pie from her crown
CDEmD
And we’ll all get high, you and I:
CDG
It’s the beautiful wreck of the world.
[Chorus]
CDG
And we’ll all fall down,
AmCD
As the proud Queen of England eats pie from her crown
CDEmD
And we’ll all get high, you and I:
CDG
It’s the beautiful wreck of the world.
CDG
It’s the beautiful wreck of the world:
CDG
It’s the beautiful wreck of the world.
[Outro]

Lie lie lie lie,

Lie lie lie lie,

Lie lie lie lie,

Lie lie lie lie.
