Dm                           Am
We live and dream about the future
Please ask Neil I need to pow-wow, now
Sift through the annals of our flavored times
Our heroes and all their fatal flaws
 F          Am              F        Am
Me, Marlon Brando, Marlon Brando and I, sing

Chorus:
G         Am
Lay me down down down down
Lay me down down down down down
Help me off to sleep
Take me deep again

We live and dream about our heroes
I listened closely, and I said
"I'm not sure where to place myself here, friend
I might pawn the gold rings instead."
The winners write the rule books
The histories and lullabies

Chorus:
Lay me down down down down
Lay me down down down down down
Help me off to sleep
(down, down, down)
Take me deep again
(down, down, down)

I heard what you said
(down, down, down)
I picture brass rings in your head
(take me down, down, down)
While golden and bronze are... bon bons
(down, down, down)
Brass is mixed with lead
