[Verse 1]
GHis destiny was just too big to spend
GSo he broke it into smaller bills and change
G#By the time he'd try to buy the things he needed
GHe had spent it all on Lucy's and weed and
GHe had spent it all on chips and Coca-Cola
GHe had spent it all on chocolate and vanilla
G#He had spent it all and didn't even feel it
GHe had spent it all and didn't even feel it
[Chorus] (x2)
GNa na na na na na na na na
GNa na na na na na na na na
G#Na na na na na na na na na
GNa na na na na na na na na
[Verse 2]
GAll the poets in the alley coughing up blood
GAnd their visions and their dreams are coming up red
G#They can neither wake up or go deeper
GBut it's so dangerous to wake a deep sleeper
GIt's like awakening a bear in winter
GTo feel the reckoning of hunger sprinter
G#He's gonna stretch his claws and feel his power
GAnd you are gonna know your final hour
[Chorus] (x2)
GNa na na na na na na na na
GNa na na na na na na na na
G#Na na na na na na na na na
GNa na na na na na na na na
[Verse 3]
GBetter get a head start, start running
GWhile you were skimming from the top was sunny
G#But all the weather 'bout to turn real crummy
GCause everybody gonna want their money
GYeah, everybody gonna want their money
GBetter get ahead start, start running
G#Better get ahead start, start running
GCause it's about to get so unfunny
GAll the poets in the alley coughing up blood
GAnd their visions and their dreams are coming up red
G#They can neither wake up or go deeper
GBut it's so dangerous to wake a deep sleeper
[Chorus] (x3)
GNa na na na na na na na na
GNa na na na na na na na na

[Verse 1]

His destiny was just too big to spend

So he broke it into smaller bills and change

By the time he'd try to buy the things he needed

He had spent it all on Lucy's and weed and

He had spent it all on chips and Coca-Cola

He had spent it all on chocolate and vanilla

He had spent it all and didn't even feel it

[Chorus] (x2)

Na na na na na na na na na

[Verse 2]

All the poets in the alley coughing up blood

And their visions and their dreams are coming up red

They can neither wake up or go deeper

But it's so dangerous to wake a deep sleeper

It's like awakening a bear in winter

To feel the reckoning of hunger sprinter

He's gonna stretch his claws and feel his power

And you are gonna know your final hour

[Chorus] (x2)

Na na na na na na na na na

[Verse 3]

Better get a head start, start running

While you were skimming from the top was sunny

But all the weather 'bout to turn real crummy

Cause everybody gonna want their money

Yeah, everybody gonna want their money

Better get ahead start, start running

Cause it's about to get so unfunny

All the poets in the alley coughing up blood

And their visions and their dreams are coming up red

They can neither wake up or go deeper

But it's so dangerous to wake a deep sleeper

[Chorus] (x3)

Na na na na na na na na na
