  30 Everybody wants to know why he couldn't adjust
  31
  32 Adjust to what, a dream that bust?
  33          A
  34 He was a clean-cut kid
  35          D7 (n.c.)
  36 But they made a killer out of him,
  37
  38 That's what they did
  39
  40 They said what's up is down, they said what isn't is
  41 They put ideas in his head he thought were his
  42 He was a clean-cut kid
  43 But they made a killer out of him,
  44 That's what they did
  45
  46 He was on the baseball team, he was in the marching band
  47 When he was ten years old he had a watermelon stand
  48 He was a clean-cut kid
  49 But they made a killer out of him,
  50 That's what they did
  51
  52 He went to church on Sunday, he was a Boy Scout
  53 For his friends he would turn his pockets inside out
  54 He was a clean-cut kid

  62                    D7
  63 They sent him to a napalm health spa to shape up
  64               E
  65 They gave him dope to smoke, drinks and pills,
  66   A
  67 A jeep to drive, blood to spill

  75 That's what they did
  76 </pre>
  77
  78 <pre class="bridge">
  79 He bought the American dream but it put him in debt
  80 The only game he could play was Russian roulette
  81 He drank Coca-Cola, he was eating Wonder Bread,
  82 Ate Burger Kings, he was well fed
  83 </pre>
  84
  85 <pre class="verse">
  86 He went to Hollywood to see Peter O'Toole
  87 He stole a Rolls Royce and drove it in a swimming pool

 109 Well, everybody's asking why he couldn't adjust
 110 All he ever wanted was somebody to trust
 111 They took his head and turned it inside out
 112 He never did know what it was all about
 113 </pre>
 114
 115 <pre class="verse">
 116 He had a steady job, he joined the choir
 117 He never did plan to walk the high wire
