Them Kids
Artist: Sam Roberts
Album: Love at the End of the World
Notes: the song sounds best when played with barre chords
No one Cfeels more alone that the children of a dying Gbreed
You never Cfeel at home when you're just another mouth to Gfeed
    CI wanna live in geological tGime
Because I'm Cstill in my biological priGme
  FIf nobody listens, then who's gonna Chear?
  FIf nobody listens, will Cwe disaDmppear?
You flip a Cman a quarter playing songs on his guiGtar
You're on a Cstreet corner, feeling like a patron of the Garts
And now the Ckids don't know how to dance to rock and rolGl
I said the Ckids don't know how to dance to rock and rolGl
  FIf nobody listens, then who's gonna Chear?
  FIf nobody listens, will Cwe disaDmppear?
I just don't understand why the Ckids don't know how to dance to rock and rolGl
I said the Ckids don't know how to dance to rock and rolGl
They're Calways on the phone and they always gotta have controGl
And now the Ckids don't know how to dance to rock and rolGl
  FThe golden Dmyears are under atCtack (we're taking them back, we're taking them back)
  FThe golden Dmyears are under atCtack (we're taking them back, we're taking them back)
  FLooking for an oDmriginal voice but the Cbeaten path leaves little choice
