Note: I found out it is quite difficult to play my version of walk Idiot walk (which
I am currently submitting) on acoustic/classical guitar because there is no cut away
so here is an easier version to play

Chorus 1
Post chorus
Lyrics
(Verse)
Well is it true what they say about it
They say it's new but I have to doubt it
And then they tell you everything about it
Had enough
I got some people saying this way
I got some people saying that way
I got some people saying there's no way
Ain't it tough?
(Main riff part)
See the idiot walk, see the idiot talk
See the idiot chalk up his name on the blackboard
See the robot walk, see the robot talk
See the robot write up his name on the ballot
(Chorus)
They say, this is all I need to get by...
But the truth is baby it's a lieeeeyayayaay (you know what I mean)
(Verse)
Well is it true what they say about it
You ought to do what I do and doubt it
He won and now he's gonna do something about it
Ain't it sad
And if you don't wanna feel like a putz
Collect the clues and connect the dots
You'll see the pattern that is bursting your bubble
And its bad
(Main riff part)
See the idiot walk, see the idiot talk
See the idiot chalk up his name on the blackboard
(Chorus 2)
They say, this is all I need to get by...
But the truth is baby it's a lieeeeyayayaay it's a... it's a lie, a, a, a, a, o, o, o,
(Here's what it boils down to)
(Bass on its own bit)
If we review the winning combination
Body at work and a mind on vacation
Who had the brain when it started to sink in?
It was you
(Main riff part 2 near the end)
You've seen the idiot walk, see the idiot talk
But you've never learned nothing and nothing isn't over
See the robot walk, see the robot talk
Still you've never learned nothing and nothing isn't over
(Chorus 2)
They say, this is all I need to get by...
And til' this baby it's a lieeeeyayaya
Tada! Lastly if any one has a correct tab for 'two timing touch and broken bones'
could they please submit it on UG please! Thanks and bye again!
