[F]
This is our town, [Am] Friday night, [F]
Triskin our rights and [Am] our rage and our best,
[D]
Piercing our veins, [C] looking for something, [F]
anything, this is where you are.
Stare across the [Am] floor and they begin to dance, [F]
missing all the rhythm,
[Am] Chose the right steps when [Dm] we laugh and we [G] drink, in our [C] corner again,
We're [F] better than them, better than them, better than them,
Didn't find it we were born, [Am] didn't find it we live,
[F] Didn't find it we fall, [Am] yeah, didn't find it we die,
[Dm] You tell ourselves [C] over and over again,
We're [F] better than them, better than them, better than them.
[G] With [Am] our hunger, [D] our hatred, [Am] we all walk this town,
[D] With [F] our fear, [G] and our weakness, [D] just hold it all.
We're the [Am] out [D] and our emptiness [Am] in this cold, [D] cold ground.
[F] We gotta be [G] so important we'll put the whole [D] damn world down.
And [F] we build the [Am] walls that we can hide behind
and [F] our finest weapon [Am] is our poison cry.
[D]
Here in this [C] town where the jealousies burn, we're [F] watching you.
And the truth is that [Am] only what we needed from beneath
[F] will bring us survival [Am] through each and every setting.
[Dm] We're not unsafe, [C] nor are we at home, just [F] be cool.
Oh what was she wearing?
[Am] Oh what did he say?
[F] Who goes with [C] who?
[Am] What did they do [G] to you?
