VERSE 2 
======= 
With Riff B: 
Terminator's using acres 
Shooting up Hollywood 
Snakes he ate with a funny fad 
Gettin' up 'n' doin' no good 
 
With Riff C: 
If you ain't wise, uncover the lies 
To fuss of you 
 
With Riff B: 
Classified lady killers 
Playin' in the U.N. too 
 
With Riff D: 
The sooner you are, you're taking the town 
Better look out when he's comin' 'round

get it close enough} 
 
Repeat the CHORUS once more and then free-form it to the end.
