CWe're amature Eromantics painting Fbackdrops of a Glandscape of a Csusnset
that is Esomeplace we Fhaven't figured Gout yet.
          c                      E                    F  G  
And we're amature nomadics, under lights we're never static
Though it's Csometimes probleEmatic, we emFbrace the catasGtrophic.
G'Cause we're made from our mistakes;
Our Fapplause comes from the Gwalls.
And we Fask for nothing Gmore and we Fdon't need a reGward,
our bed and Fbooks: all we can afGford.
But beFhind our bedroom doors, Gwe can change the world.
C E F G
C E F G
And we're Camature Eempathics borrowing Fcostumes from the Gattics.
We'll Cpretend we're someone Eelse, make it Fobvious we're Gacting.
And we're Camature fanEtastics, reading Flines we'll forGget,
but we can Cmake them up, 'cause Eit's enough to Fbe here with our Gfriends.
Our Fapplause comes from the Gwalls.
And we Fask for nothing Gmore and we Fdon't need a reGward,
our bed and Fbooks: all we can afGford.
But beFhind our bedroom doors, we're Ggonna can change the world.

C E F G
We Ctried to change the Eworld, and we Fdid to some deGgree, 
but we Ccouldn't help the Einfluence of Fpapers and GTV,
'cause they Crecognized our Ecause, and Foffered us reGwards,
And we Cended up chanEging the world back Fto the way it Gwas.
And our Fapplause, came from the Ghalls.
And we Fasked for so much more and got Gbored of the rewards.
And the Fbuzzwords changed our Gvoices and we Fthought it was Gprogression
to Fdecieve what we were Gdoing in Fpursuit of some proGfession.
But I Gnever want to be professional!
I Fjust want to be real, and Gfeel that I am part of the Cworld.E  F  G
