We are bouncing and dancing as you sing your lullaby
D G
Shouting 'move' when you say 'stay'
D G
The tune of your flute is a rifle you shoot
D G
That lays us all down to be prey.
A
They love you, we hate you,
G D G D
They made you, we brake you today, ya-ha
G D G A G
Break it away, ya-ha-haa
D G
We are painting the walls, making jokes out of laws
D G
Hiding sleeping pills under our tongues
D G
Shut the light, close the door, we spit them to the floor
D G
Then we're hummin' and a-strummin' and a-bangin' on drums
A G D G D
What did you know when you said we are wasting away? ya-ha
G D G A G D G D G D G A G A
How could you say?

How could you say we just waste away, waste away?

Big table, not big enough...
D G
How could you say we just waste away, waste away?
D G
Hummin' and a-strummin' and a-bangin'
A G D G D G D G A G D G D G D G D G A G
A-bangin' on drums, yeah yeah yeah yeah!
