Biografía:
The Drones es un grupo austrailano de rock que alcanzó la popularidad (relativa) a principios de la década '00. Sus mayores influencias son Bob Dylan, Neil Young, The Velvet Underground, Van Morrison, Suicide y Bad Brains entre otros.
El sonido del grupo australiano no cuadra en ningún estilo actual dentro de la música rock. Parte de su trabajo se debe a estructuras simples y convencionales, la otra parte de su sonido se basa en las estructuras blues que Tom Waits popularizó en los círculos comerciales.

G#m G#7 C#m C (x2)
[Verse 1]
G#m
We don't write letters any more
G#7
there ain't the time or place
C#m
but a friend mine wrote something like
C
a letter yesterday
G#m
It was smuggled through my inbox
G#7
just this morning, 3am
C#m
more impotent than important
C
but let me read it now, verbatim
G#m
He say's "I got that same old feeling
G#7
the one that turns the birds to brutes
C#m
the sky is like a bad dream
C
and the Earth is in cahoots
G#m
I don't believe no one no more
G#7
I don't care what no one say's
C#m
I just wanna make the world
C
a much less painful place
G#m
We look fonder on the good old days
G#7
as they drift further away
C#m
but why if everyone feels so homesick
C
are they always setting sail?
G#m
'Cause it's all bad news up there on deck
G#7
and each headland masks the next
C#m
I'd just as soon dive in the ocean
C
and forego the blood and sweat
G#m
Forego all aspirations
G#7
they just put everyone at odds
C#m
if idle hands are the devil's work
C
then where's the time for God's?
[Prechorus]
D C E
And why write a letter that you'll never send away
[Chorus]
G#m F#m E F#m
Why won't you stay with me, wait and see
D
all you need know
E D Dsus2 D D7 G#m
nobody's perfect and their needs are always stark
F#m E F#m
stay with me, wait you'll see
D
all you need know
E D Dsus2 D D7 F#m
everybody's hurting and their needs are always stark
D
stay with me
A
stay (with me)
Dsus2
[Verse 2]
G#m
And who cares about wars of choice in lands
G#7
where states indulge their passions
C#m
and all the new shoots just jackbootscoot
C
all dissent out of fashion
G#m
Like Fred Astaires' at a film premier
G#7
that is all about them
C#m
it's stirring stuff, transformative
C
they don't care where they're sent
G#m
They're all kiss chasing childish
G#7
dreams of privileged masculinity
C#m
'till they're spent by shock and discharged
C
home to small town and big city
G#m
The rest are the type left dying or dead
G#7
from trying to be useful
C#m
they've been handy in the years gone by
C
and they'll be handy in the future
G#m
And who cares for their survival
G#7
and who cares about the Yanks
C#m
who cares if they get overrun
C
by Chinese nukes and tanks
G#m
Who cares about the holocaust
G#7
man we didn't learn nothing there
C#m
and all it's memory does is
C
keep the History Channel on air
G#m
Who cares about the Vatican
G#7
man everybody knows
C#m
and who's surprised they went and
C
chose a nazi for a pope?
G#m
Who cares about fakes like anarchists
G#7
man they never want to dance
C#m
let's mambo Mogadishu
C
give anarchy a chance
G#m
I'm saying life is cruel, you know it's true
G#7
but all sides still try and recruit you
C#m
for shangri-las as practical
C
as doing the karma sutra
[Prechorus]
D C E
why write a letter that you'll never send away
[Chorus]
G#m F#m E F#m
why won't you stay with me, wait and see
D
all you need know
E D Dsus2 D D7 F#m
nobody's perfect and their needs are always stark
A D F#m
stay with me, wait you'll see
D
all you need know
E D Dsus2 D D7 F#m
everybody skirts the fact their needs are always stark
D A
stay with me
Dsus2
[Verse 3]
G#m
And who cares if the starving millions
G#7
know if it's christmas or your birthday
C#m
or what movie stars in Africa
C
or the guy from U2 says
G#m
Or all the statesmen never telling
G#7
lies as truth or gospel
C#m
who cares what's true or false
C
the truth's the world won't go to hospital
G#m
But who needs to live forever
G#7
who needs the extra miles
C#m
we won't need bees or seed banks
C
in the Arctic for a while
G#m
We play the game to start again
G#7
not to better life for all
C#m
it's the appropriate opiate
C
when a better way's impossible
G#m
Some honesty now wouldn't go astray
G#7
if not, then what's the use?
C#m
we're animals, we can't help doing
C
what all animals do
G#m
So goodbye my friend, i'm hitting send
G#7
forgive me talking straight
C#m
I'm only trying to make the world
C
a much less painful place
[Outro]
D C E
