LYRICS:
VERSES-
THEY'RE FORMING IN A STRAIGHT LINE
THEY'RE GOING THROUGH A TIGHT WIND
THE KIDS ARE LOSING THEIR MINDS
THE BLITZKRIEG BOP
THEY'RE PILING IN THE BACK SEAT
THEY'RE GENERATING STEAM HEAT
PULSATING TO THE BACK BEAT
THE BLITZKRIEG BOP
CHORUSES-
HEY HO LET'S GO
SHOT 'EM IN THE BACK NOW
WHAT THEY WANT I DON'T KNOW
THEY'RE ALL REVED UP AND THEY'RE READY TO GO
I did this one all by myself and I think it sounds right.
It's really easy. Anyone should be able to play this song.
