[Verse 1]
We were kind of Dferal, wicked lGittle machines
                      Bm                                 A   Emor G  
Captains and cavalries forming empires in the shade of the trees
Without hesiDtation, kings of the Gforest town
Holding the oBmcean down
                                  A   Emor  G  
We were half this heavy and twice this loud
[Chorus]
So turn up the Dnoise 
Dress to the nGines
Running with the Dboys 
Your hand in Gmine
Singing every Bmsong, loving every Aline
'Til the night is Ggone
Just like the old tDimes
Just like the old tGimes
[Chorus]

All the images and sounds, superimposed into all the backgrounds

Captivated Bmby a craze, Athose were hands down

My favorite days

SuDspicion wasn't Emin our head
IGt was only underneath the DbedEms (BGeds)
SaDline eyes didn't Emhave to hide
They Gwere always open way too wDide (EmWay too Gwide)
[Chorus]
So turn up the Dnoise
