Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Take all your overgrown infants away somewhere

And build them a home

A little place of their own

The Fletcher Memorial Home for incurable tyrants and kings

[Verse 2]

And they can appear to themselves every day

On closed circuit TV

To make sure they're still real

It's the only connection they feel

[Verse 3]

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, Reagan and Haig

Mr. Begin and friend, Mrs. Thatcher the Paisley

Mr. Brezhnev and party

The ghost of McCarthy

And the memories of Nixon

And now, adding color

A group of anonymous Latin American meat packing glitterati

[Verse 4]

Did they expect us to treat them with any respect?

They can polish their medals and sharpen their smiles

And amuse themselves playing games for awhile

Boom boom, bang bang, lay down, you're dead

[Verse 5]

Safe in the permanent gaze of a cold glass eye

Their favorite toys

They'll be good girls and boys

In the Fletcher Memorial Home for colonial

Wasters of life and limb

[Verse 6]

Is everyone in?

Are you having a nice time?

Now, the final solution can be applied
