Well, I saw it clear today
                                    C
That we were all more than only refugees
        G
And the heads of state called out all of their reserves

So they could postpone World War III

There's a ten year old in the alley

Throws a hard ball off the wall that is the truth
                Dm                        G
He knows you're either just the newspaper boy

We can all dream up some explicit rationalized dream

While the rockin’ rolling home run king
                                        C
Keeps the black Madonna sleepin’ with a star

Or you're either Babe Ruth
