Bonzo Goes To Bitburg Lyrics
You've got to pick up the pieces C'mon, sort your trash
You better pull yourself back together Maybe you've got too much cash
Better call, call the law When you gonna turn yourself in? Yeah
You're a politician Don't become one of Hitler's children
Bonzo goes to bitburg then goes out for a cup of tea
As I watched it on TV somehow it really bothered me
Drank in all the bars in town for an extended foreign policy
Pick up the pieces
My brain is hanging upside down I need something to slow me down
My brain is hanging upside down I need something to slow me down
Shouldn't wish you happiness, wish her the very best Fifty thousand dollar dress
Shaking hands with your highness See through you like cellophane
You watch the world complain, but you do it anyway Who am I, am I to say
Bonzo goes to bitburg then goes out for a cup of tea
As I watched it on TV somehow it really bothered me
Drank in all the bars in town for an extended foreign policy
Pick up the pieces
My brain is hanging upside down I need something to slow me down
My brain is hanging upside down I need something to slow me down
If there's one thing that makes me sick It's when someone tries to hide behind politics
I wish that time could go by fast Somehow they manage to make it last
My brain is hanging upside down I need something to slow me down
My brain is hanging upside down I need something to slow me down
My brain is hanging upside down I need something to slow me down
My brain is hanging upside down I need something to slow me down
You better pull yourself back together Maybe you've got too much cash
Better call, call the law When you gonna turn yourself in? Yeah
You're a politician Don't become one of Hitler's children
As I watched it on TV somehow it really bothered me
Drank in all the bars in town for an extended foreign policy
Pick up the pieces
Shaking hands with your highness See through you like cellophane
You watch the world complain, but you do it anyway Who am I, am I to say
As I watched it on TV somehow it really bothered me
Drank in all the bars in town for an extended foreign policy
Pick up the pieces
I wish that time could go by fast Somehow they manage to make it last

It wasn't actually Dee Dee's choice. Johnny forced Dee Dee to change the name for the album, or it wouldn't go on (due to Johnny's Right-Wing, Pro-Reagan beliefs).
THATS IT! thanks
Eye heart this song! Great tune. I watch School of Rock just to get to the mantage seen.
Whether we agree with Johnny's political views or not, I think he must be respected for sticking to his beliefs and not selling out just because it would have been more popular to do so. After all, isn't that one of the things we really like about the Ramones to begin with?
Petey, I don't really think sticking to an unpopular belief is a good thing in itself. You (hopefully) wouldn't grant David Duke respect for sticking to his racist views even though they are unpopular. Johnny has my respect for being a major part of one of the greatest bands in history, but that's as far as it goes.
"My Brain is Hanging Upside Down" is just another way of saying "I don't f** belive what I'm seeing", in my view.
Great song! Little confused how no one has corrected one of the lyrics tho, during chorus correct lyric is: “ Drank in all the bars in town to understand a foreign policy”
Not what’s posted here, “Drank in all the bars in town for an extended foreign policy”
Not just this site that posted it incorrectly, every lyric site messed this one up. Turn up the headphones there guys it’s really not hard to understand what he’s saying
Bonzo is supposed to be Ronald Regan (if I'm not mistaken) and his trip to Germany.
Bonzo is supposed to be Ronald Regan (if I'm not mistaken) and his trip to Germany.
Reagan took a lot of flack for that trip, since he participated in a memorial at a cemetery which held quite a lot of dead Nazis. Dee Dee later weakened his dislike of Ronnie and changed the title to "My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down."
Me and my band played this song at a concert and its so awesome. One of my favorite songs ever
