NOTE: Regarding the chord C#m7/F in the first two choruses ONLY:
      In reality, it's actually the bass that plays the F over C#m7
          thus making it sound a bit off.
      The song is in 7th chords except for the E but, may play
          this using basic chords; and/or open chords.

In a dolly concentration camp

The world's gone mad but in miniature
    Bm7                        A7
The kids can only do what they feel
