       D                       G
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? 
D
How could you say we just waste away, waste away?
                      G
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!
   D                        G         D
We will not be lulled into slumber by you,
   G            D          A
We will not be lulled into sleep.
    D                          G         D
For we've had a taste of this wonderous place
         G            D         A
And its treasures we intend to keep.
   Bm                      Em
We will not be lulled into slumber
   G             Bm         A

   D                         
So now when they say we just 
 G  
waste away, waste away

D                          G
You can say 'hey, it's not so.'
D                         G
Why is it then that we're growing and growing and growing and growing,
                             A G
And showing them all what we know? yeah yeah yeah yeah!
