  Pop paper people printing "Rebel Insane"
  They in my head and digging into my brain
  I need an umbrella to keep out of the rain

         C                     D
I can't hope to the pace I've made, maybe
I'll settle in the country and fade

Psychomodo (This coulb be in Ab, but it's easier to play this way)

 G                D                    Em
I been losing my head I been losing my way
                  Bm                        C
I been losing my brain cells at a million a day
                  D                       G
I been so disillusioned I'm on suicide street


I seen everything in every shape
I seen 1984 in a terrible state
I seen you Quasimodo Hanging on my gate

 D                        C
Oh he was so hung up and wasted
Oh he was so physically devastated
        Bm                       Am            Am / Bm / C / D
He was young enough He was well slung enough

peppermint    eaten    a-way..      Will I

Oh           dear     look what they've done to the  blues       blues      blues

(A note from Hans:- This progession keeps going on, the power in this song when you 
playing soft and then louder. When building it up you should let the bass be more prominent 
2nd verse.
It should be A with G# in the bass etc....)
