[Intro]
E A (x8)
E
[Verse 1]
E
To the people making life from lust,
B F#m
abusing trust, and the fuckers who made fools
A
out of the best of us:
E
You've swayed the public thought
B F#m
that they're all that they've bought, and otherwise they're ugly people that
A
will soon be dust.
E
And to the schools that brought us up
B F#m
and had us 'socialized', teaching us the world
A
through hall passes and single file lines.
E B
We are discouraged to ask questions or to raise a fist.
F#m
No wonder nobody can tell there's
A E
something so much fucking bigger than this.
[Verse 2]
E B
And we say everyday that we won't
F#m A
grow up to live the lives that they do,
E B
and yet we only walk on footsteps
F#m A
that they set for us instead of clearing paths towards
E B F#m
promised lands we dreamt about, and better worlds we
A
read about.
[Verse 3]
E B
We leave our higher educations that we all 'must' get
F#m A
with a signature stamped paper and a mound of debt.
E B
The bank has got us by the throat and then we're forced to settle
F#m A
for the jobs we hate, 9 to 5, 40 hours,
E B
40 years til the day we are too weak to work, too frail to play.
F#m A
No friends or lovers because they've all passed away
E B
We've waited for this day all of our lives long,
F#m
and on our death bed the stereo
A E B A
plays our favorite teenage anthem song.
[Bridge]
E B A E B A
We sing alooooooong.
A E B A
We sing alooooooong.
A E B
We sing along.
B F#m A
We sing aloooooong.
A E B
We sing along.
B F#m A
We sing aloooooong.
[Final verse]
E
And to white, middle-class, suburban kids:
B
start dealing with your privileges.
F#m
Smash your TV, read a book, or
A
see the world instead.
E
Enjoy the simple things in life
B F#m
because you can, like your family, friends, community,
A
and local bands.
E
If there's one thing in your life that
B F#m
you'll never forget, its that we're dead in the future
A
but we're not dead yet.
E B
Your life starts right now so start acting like it,
F#m A
or else you'll wake up one day feeling like a silhouette.
