D5 G5 A5
Well we've been D5holding on for hours hoping that they'll call us back
 Yeah we were hG5olding on and hoping they would cA5all
 We sat cD5aptive in the flowers with our radios in tact
 We left our AA5K47s E5near the wD5all
Yeah we were D5here protecting nations, women, children from invasion
 UG5sually we just felt useless above aA5ll
 Every mD5eeting's a vacation, never made it to the station for an iA5nfiltration
 YE5eah, we're still too sD5mall
So tell me Dwhy can't we learn to get along? And tell me, Awhy are we always on the run?
 PGretty sure this club is failing
 Haven't made the headlines yet
 So tell me, dAo you know if this invasion's sDet?
We've sat silent in D5libraries, drunk tanks,
traffic jams and attics more than G5spaceships in the sky above our A5walls
 Makes me tD5hink they just aren't coming, wasting time's better than running
 That's what wA5e've all told oE5urselves, if just to sD5tall
 BD5ut we've been holding on for decades hoping that they'd call us back
 BG5ut I just don't think that that call's ever gonna cA5ome
 WD5e sit captive in these flowers, picking asscracks, picking boogers, and I gA5otta say
E5everybody, this ain'D5t fun
GMaybe we should think of somewhere else to Dgo
 OGr maybe I should think about just going sDolo
 IG'm tired of just waiting, cDontemplating masturbating
  WGith my brain might be a better way to gDo
So tell me D5why can't we learn to get along? And tell me, A5why are we always on the run?
 PG5retty sure this club is failing
 Haven't made the headlines yet
 So tell me, dA5o you know if this invasion's sD5et?

D5 G5 A5

Well we've been holding on for hours hoping that they'll call us back

G5 A5

Yeah we were holding on and hoping they would call

We sat captive in the flowers with our radios in tact

A5 E5 D5

We left our AK47s near the wall

Yeah we were here protecting nations, women, children from invasion

G5 A5

Usually we just felt useless above all

D5 A5

Every meeting's a vacation, never made it to the station for an infiltration

E5 D5

Yeah, we're still too small

D A

So tell me why can't we learn to get along? And tell me, why are we always on the run?

Pretty sure this club is failing

Haven't made the headlines yet

A D

So tell me, do you know if this invasion's set?

We've sat silent in libraries, drunk tanks,

G5 A5

traffic jams and attics more than spaceships in the sky above our walls

Makes me think they just aren't coming, wasting time's better than running

A5 E5 D5

That's what we've all told ourselves, if just to stall

But we've been holding on for decades hoping that they'd call us back

G5 A5

But I just don't think that that call's ever gonna come

D5 A5

We sit captive in these flowers, picking asscracks, picking boogers, and I gotta say

E5 D5

everybody, this ain't fun

G D

Maybe we should think of somewhere else to go

G D

Or maybe I should think about just going solo

G D

I'm tired of just waiting, contemplating masturbating

G D

With my brain might be a better way to go

D5 A5

So tell me why can't we learn to get along? And tell me, why are we always on the run?

Pretty sure this club is failing

Haven't made the headlines yet

A5 D5

So tell me, do you know if this invasion's set?
