Verse one
All the boys who called their mothers on that day
We're no tough bunch but they had the nerves to go and say
Prechorus
A G
That all your secrets were drowned
A G
With the pioneers who were flooded from this town
A G
They packed their bags only moments too late
A
With the pounding waves crashing up against the weakened watergates
Chorus
D G A D
Dire times call for dire faces
G Em
So lovely dancer call and answer
D G
Trade our places in the night
Em G
Were running barefoot you and I
G G
Dead lovers salivate broken hearts tessellate
And all the kids who cut their knees on that old schoolyard fence
We're holding out for posterity and self defence
We beat them down again
Its no fun playing cowboy for pretend
We'll show them what the backs of our hands are for
The divide is clear in the coming year the rich will take the poor
Chorus
