Standard (EADGBE)

We are bouncing and dancing as you sing your lullaby

Shouting 'move' when you say 'stay'

The tune of your flute is a rifle you shoot

That lays us all down to be prey.

They love you, we hate you,

They made you, we brake you today, ya-ha

Break it away, ya-ha-haa

We are painting the walls, making jokes out of laws

Hiding sleeping pills under our tongues

Shut the light, close the door, we spit them to the floor

Then we're hummin' and a-strummin' and a-bangin' on drums

What did you know when you said we are wasting away? ya-ha

How could you say?

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

Big table, not big enough...

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

Hummin' and a-strummin' and a-bangin'

A-bangin' on drums, yeah yeah yeah yeah!

We will not be lulled into slumber by you,

We will not be lulled into sleep.

For we've had a taste of this wonderous place

And its treasures we intend to keep.

We will not be lulled into slumber

We will not be lulled into sleep

For we've had a taste of

this wonderous place

And its treasures we intend to keep.

For we've had a taste of

this wonderous place

And its treasures we intend to keep.

So now when they say we just

waste away, waste away

You can say 'hey, it's not so.'

Why is it then that we're growing and growing and growing and growing,

And showing them all what we know? yeah yeah yeah yeah!

We will not be lulled into

slumber by you, la-dadadaa

For we've had a taste of

this wonderous place, la-dadadada

We will not be lulled into sleep

For we've had a taste of

this wonderous place

And its treasures we intend to keep.

For we've had a taste of

this wonderous place

And its treasures we intend to keep.
