Verse 1:
    D       A     D     A    D       A     D     A
The few surviving samurai survey the battlefield
  D       A         D        A         D    A         D       A
Count the arms, the legs and heads and then divide by 5
G           G          G     G         D   A   D   A
Drenched in blood they move across the screen
G    G       G        G      Em      Em    A
Do I need to point or Do you see the one I mean

Chorus:
    A      D         D      G
The one in back, the way he acts
   G     G      G      Em  A     D
Is he reminding you of anyone we know
   D     G       G       Em     A       D
Isn't he so like certain people Ild name

Fill: Bm   E   A   D   G   C#   F#

Verse 2:
Halfway through the thirty minutes
Halfway `round the world
Here's the story on the genocidal overlord
in her palace with her epaulettes
Watch her little gestures as she lights her cigarette
 
Chorus 2:
Look at her you must see it too
Is she reminding you of anyone we know?
Isn't she so like certain people Ild name?
 
Fill: Bm   E   A   D   G   C#   F# (x2 slightly different scond time )

Verse 3:
Disembodied and detached
A voice describes the scene
As a lizard stalks a helpless creature on tv
The music underscores the tragedy
Eyes with no expression watch the unsuspecting prey
 
Chorus 3:
is it libr />Doesn't it strike you as the very image of someone we know?
Isn't it so like certain people
Howld anybody miss the obvious and the uncanny and the clear resemblanbr />Isn't it just like certain people Ild name?

Outro: Bm   E   A   D   G   C#   F#
