D, A x 1

so what the fuck are you going to do?
they robbed your life from you
A (pause)
tell them you want to get it back
if you do, I’ve got your back
yes it’s something worth defending
so throw caution to the wind
A(pause)
and other platitudes
that were written just for you
take a shit in their swimming pool
let them chase you if you do
finally something is happening to you
put an axe through the TV
blow up your radio,
though you can’t see them now
you’ll hear birds singing in your soul
sneak your way past the gates in a hard heart shape
if you’re gonna be a shark you better learn to stay awake
