Originally penned as a condemnation of a controversial President Reagan visit to Germany, “Bonzo” has shown impressive staying power. The 1985 song has been covered by various groups and, in 2003, served as the backing track for a triumphant rock history montage in the film, School of Rock.

[Verse 1]
You've got to pick up the pieces
Come on, sort your trash
Better pull yourself back together
Maybe you've got too much cash
Better call, call the law
When are you gonna turn yourself in, yeah?
You're a politician
Don't become one of Hitler's children
[Pre-Chorus]
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 to understand your foreign policy
Pick up the pieces
[Chorus]
(Ba-na-na-na) My brain is hanging upside down
(Ba-na-na-na) I need something to slow me down
(Ba-na-na-na) Ooh, yeah, my brain is hanging upside down
(Ba-na-na-na) And I need something to slow me down
[Verse 2]
Shouldn't wish you happiness
Wish her the very best
Fifty-thousand-dollar dress
Shaking after your highness
See through you like cellophane
You watch the world complain
But you do it anyway
Who am I if I'm to say
[Pre-Chorus]
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 to understand your foreign policy
Pick up the pieces
[Chorus]
(Ba-na-na-na) My brain is hanging upside down
(Ba-na-na-na) I need something to slow me down
(Ba-na-na-na) Ooh, yeah, my brain is hanging upside down
(Ba-na-na-na) And I need something to slow me down
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
(Ba-na-na-na) Ooh, yeah, my brain is hanging upside down
(Ba-na-na-na) I need something to slow me down
(Ba-na-na-na) Ooh, yeah, my brain is hanging upside down
(Ba-na-na-na) And I need something to slow me down
(Ba-na-na-na) Ooh, yeah, my brain is hanging upside down
(Ba-na-na-na) And I need something to slow me down
(Ba-na-na-na) My brain is hanging upside down
