bonzo goes to bitburg
Ramones · Mania [1988]
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 ohh yeah.
My brain is hanging upside down I need something to slow me down
Shouldn of 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 ohh yeah.
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 ohh yeah.
My brain is hanging upside down I need something to slow me down ohh yeah.
My brain is hanging upside down I need something to slow me down ohh yeah.
My brain is hanging upside down I need something to slow me down ohh yeah.

Bonzo Goes to Bitburg appears on the Ramones' 1988 album Mania, marking a significant shift in the band's sonic landscape. By this era, the group had moved away from their signature raw punk energy toward a more polished, pop-influenced sound. The track reflects the band's willingness to experiment with unconventional themes and structures during their later years. As part of a discography that spans decades of influential rock music, the recording captures the group's enduring ability to blend simplicity with eccentricity. While Mania received mixed reactions upon release, songs like this one highlight the band's continued evolution and their commitment to maintaining a distinct identity even as their style matured. The song remains a notable song in their extensive catalogue of punk rock anthems.
