D
You killed your European son
You spit on those under twenty-one
But now your blue cars are gone
            G
You better say so long
                      D
Hey hey hey, bye bye bye

You made your wallpapers green
You want to make love to the scene
Your European son is gone
You'd better say so long
Your clowns bid you goodbye
