Hello, _ [D] _ _ _ girls [Am] and boys _ _ _ _ _
_ As you [C] send your car to the bedrooms _
_ _ With [D] your _ stereos on and on
_ _ [G] _ _
_ Playing with [D] those hundred dollar [Am] _ toys _ _ _ _
_ _ Built to occupy your minds
So you don't notice [D] your future's gone
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ And as you race on through [Am] the streets tonight
_ Look _ at myself
[C] _ _ _ _ _
_ You think that the [D] _ world is alright
_ _ [G] Well, you're out of touch, you're out of time
[Am] You're gonna crack your fragile, regulated minds
As [C] you're heading out _ _
To no kind of [D] _ _ _ _
conclusion
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ Go [D] on, little _
_ [Am] _ mouse _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [G] _ _ Watch them as [D] they cut your throat
[Am] With that rental _ carving _ [A] knife _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] Girls, _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ are [C] you too young to sleep? _
Or just too old [D] to _ fight?
_ They've _ _ _ _ _ taken the energy _ _ _ [Am] away from you _ _ _ _
_ They [C] haven't taught you enough
To deal with the ordeal you must [D] be going through
_ _ Yeah, but look at this now
_ [G] _
They've left you the [D] schools
And they've left you [Am] the government _ _ _ _
But [C] they're all _ _ _ _ looking to make the [D] best of _ _ payments
In _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [D] this world, _ _ on certain days _ _ _ _ _
[C] You can't be certain yet
_ You must kiss the ass of the [D] _ authorities _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
And kiss you [D] real if you want to [Am] _
survive
_ _ _ _ You don't have [C] to look that hard to see
That there just ain't no free rides
[D] Hell, it takes a real man to survive
_ _ _ [G] _ _ Go _ [D] on, little [G] _ _ [Am]
mouse _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ Watch [D] them as they cut your throat
With [Am] that rental _ carving knife
_ _ [G] _ _ _ Go _ [D] on, let them run your [Am] lives
Are _ _ _ _ _ [C] you too young to sleep?
_ Or just too [D] old to fight? _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ It's not gonna [D] be so
Some [Am] kind of hotel Go _ _ _ [C] _ inside _ _
And shake, shake, shake [D] off the knife
_ _ _ _ [G] And little rooter tooter
[D] Just bask that old [Am] dog _ _
_ _ Take [C] your thumb and a spoon
So I take away a gun
[D] And shove it all, shove it all, shove that gun [G] low
_ And we [D] all hope this ends soon
[Am] But I'll still be alive _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ Everyone is a match that's in [D] world line
And it'll kick you right in the [G] face _ _
[D] Go on, let them run [Am] your _ _ lives
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[D] Go on, let them run [Am] your lives _
_ Are [C] you too young to sleep?
Or just too [D] old to _ fight?
_ _ _ [C] Are you too young to sleep?
_ Or just too old [D] to fight?
Do we have to fight the rest of [G] our lives? _ _
