One for the [A]news flash[A7]   [A6]      [A]
Cool eye[A]witness [A7]    [A6]       [A]

Eighty-[E5]one, eighty-[F#m5]two, [Bm]eighty-[G]three, it's [D]happening [Dsus4]       [D]
Gotta be a [A]fucking fool to blame TV
Don't get [D]trapped in [Dsus4]       [D]

And I like nightmares
I like feeling cheekless {?}
Lifting up my lighter {?}
Watching life with west {?}

'81, '82, '83, it's happening
Can we afford strike three
Don't trust the captain
He's just a boy like me
And I like nightmares, yes, I do

There's a common way to weep, they say just smoke
You can cry yourself to sleep, they say just toke
There's a path that never fails, you can't get lost
Don't need roads, you're on rails, I'll pay the cost

And I like nightmares, yes, I do

{bridge}
We were [G]wasted, but you're [C]only waylaid [D]once
What we [G]tasted was a [C]voucher, pay their [G]lunch
We robbed their [C]banks and we took their [G]gold
And our [Am]lies in the tank must've [Bm]sounded old
But we [A]pleaded   [D/A]        [A]

I said, "You're [G]honor were not [C]chumps, after [D]all, we [E]only did it [A]once.[A]"

We like nightmares
We taste our fitness
All kind of goulash
A taint in the midwest

'81, '82, '83, it's happening
Nothing votes interest free
Don't care what it's wrapped in
You can be abreast like me
