G
You started drinking the Kool-Aid
C
We were taking the bait
D
We were talking big talk
G
Never playing it safe
G
Looking good as Jane Fonda
C
On a Vietnam tank
D
Can't get something for nothing
G
Have to energize your base
[Pre Chorus]
C
But she was young enough
C
She was blonde enough
C G
She was about a perfect ten
C
Had millions of admirers
C D
but not a single friend
[Chorus]
G C
And it's a, it's a little uncanny what she managed to do
D C G
Become a symbol for a pain she never knew
[Intro Riff]
G C D G
[Verse]
G
You know old Ronnie Reagan
C
He was a shoe salesman's son
D
He got himself in the movies
G
He impressed everyone
G
He thought trial by fire
C
Was America's fate
D
He made a joke of the poor people
G
And that made him a saint
[Pre Chorus]
C
But he was tan enough, he was rich enough
C G
He was handsome like John Wayne
C
And there was no one at the country club
D
Who didn't feel the same
[Chorus]
G
But it's a, it's a little uncanny
C
What he managed to do
D C G
Got me to read those Russian authors through and through
[Intro Riff]
G C D G
[Verse]

I miss Christopher Hitchens
C
I miss Oliver Sacks
D
I miss poor Robin Williams
G
I miss Sylvia Plath
G
Every morning's a desert
C
Every night is a flood
D
They say a party can kill you
G
Well sometimes I wish it would
[Pre Chorus]
C
But I'll get strong enough, I'll be man enough
C G
To keep myself in check
C
'Cause all my friends that flew to town
C D
Said that's what they expect
[Chorus]
G
But it's a, it's a little uncanny
C
What they managed to do
D C G
Made me admit to things I knew were never true
