Next thing I hear George's got this stick
D G
He's using it for more than kicks

I seen him down at Smalley's bar
D G
He was wired up, I tried to calm him down
E C
"Avenge yourself" he says to me
D G
"Avenge yourself for humanity
E C
Avenge yourself for the weak and the poor
D G
Stick it to these guys right through their heads"
E C
know, the fight is my music, and the stick is my sword
D G
And you know that I love you, so please don't say a word
E C
Can't you hear the music playing, the anthem, it's my call

And the last I seen of Georgey was him
G
Running through the door, I says -
