Ooooooh
5     5   5   5   -4   4    4
Why don't we all just get stoned,
4    -5   -5   -5   -6    6 -5     5
Get drunk and sing beer drinking songs.
5   5    -5 -5    -5 -6 6
Between Brezhnev and Begin,
-5 5  -5  5   -4 4
Khomeini and Reagan,
4    5   5    5  -5   5   -4   4-454
We might as well all just get stoooned.

3    3    3 -3  4   -4  4  5 -4   4    -4
You can't even look at the T V  these days,
3   3    3  3    -3     4   -4  -4
Without gettin' scared half to death.
-5   -5 -5 -5   -5    -4   -4 -4   -3  -3 3
The eyewitness news leaves me used and abused,
3   3  3    4 -4   -5  5  -4    5
And I find myself gasping for breath.
6          6     6   6  6  5
There's strikes and inflation,
5     6     6  6    6  5
And strife between nations,
5     6     6  -6  7   -7 -6  6
The world's in  a hell of  a mess.
7   7  7    7    7  -7
No matter who's hurtin',
-6       6    -6   6   5  -4
There's one thing for certain,
5    -5    -5    -5   -5    5 -4 4
The whole world will blame the U.S.

Ooooooh
5     5   5   5   -4   4    4       6    5
Why don't we all just get stoned, (get drunk)
4    -5   -5   -5   -6    6 -5     5
Get drunk and sing beer drinking songs.
5   5    -5 -5    -5 -6 6
Between Brezhnev and Begin,
-5 5  -5  5   -4 4
Khomeini and Reagan,
4    5   5    5  -5   5   -4   4-454
We might as well all just get stoooned.

3    3   3    3     4   -4
The Russians don't like us,
4   5   -4    4    -4
And we don't like them.
3    3  3 3   -3   4  -4 -4
The Israelis hate the Arabs.
-5 5 -5   -5 -5 -4  -4  -4  -3 -3    3
I-ran and I-raq are on each other's back,
3   3   3 4 -4     -5   5   -4   5
And El Salvador's still up for grabs.
6  6     6      6  6 5 5 6   6   6 6  5
I wish they'd take Idi Amin and Khomeini
6    6 6 6  -6   7  -7  -6   6
And Khadafi and all of the rest,
7   7   7  7  7   7
Tie'em all to a chair,
6    6   6    6   -6  6 -6  6 -5 5
And make'em stare at Yasser Arafat,
5    -5 -5 -5  -5   -5     5   -4   4
‘Til he uglies the whole bunch to death.

Ooooooh
5     5   5   5   -4   4    4       6    5
Why don't we all just get stoned, (get drunk)
4    -5   -5   -5   -6    6 -5     5
Get drunk and sing beer drinking songs.
5   5    -5 -5    -5 -6 6
Between Brezhnev and Begin,
-5 5  -5  5   -4 4
Khomeini and Reagan,
4    5   5    5  -5   5   -4   4-454
We might as well all just get stoooned.

(What about cleaning up our own backyard)
3        3   3  3  4  -4
There's mass unemployment,
4     5   -4  4     -4
And crime in the streets,
3  3  3    3    -3   4 -4 -4
Inflation gets worse everyday,
-5      -5 -5  -5 -5 -4 -4
They're taxin' us maximum,
-4   -3 -3    -3   -3 3  3
And Congress ain't ax-in'em.
4     4    -4  5  -5   5   -4 5
They take most my paycheck away.
6    6  6  6 6 -5 5
Now Social Security
5   -5  6  6  6 6 -5 5
Has become an obscurity,
6      6   6      6  -6  7 -7  -6   6
Where the hell's all the money we paid?
7     7   7   7  7     7     7   -7
Lord, if the Commie's don't take us,
6  6  6 -6   6    -5   5
Reaganomics will break us,
5   -5   -4  -5   -5    5  4   4
We ain't got  a chance either way.

Ooooooh
5     5   5   5   -4   4    4       6    5
Why don't we all just get stoned, (get drunk)
4    -5   -5   -5   -6    6 -5     5
Get drunk and sing beer drinking songs.
5   5    -5 -5    -5 -6 6
Between Brezhnev and Begin,
-5 5  -5  5   -4 4
Khomeini and Reagan,
4    5   5    5  -5   5   -4   4-454
We might as well all just get stoooned.
