[Intro] 
A
AWe all, we all, we all, we all know this is Dnothing
AWe all, we all, we all, we all know this is Dnothing
AWe all, we all, we all, we all know this is Dnothing
This is nowhere
AWe all, we all, we all, we all know this is nDowhere
There is no one
    AHere
[Verse 1]
AIt moves like a virus and enters our skin
The first sign divides us, the second is moving to BDmaj7erlin
But that's not the state I'm iAn
The air iDmaj7s thin but that's not the stateA  
AThe old guys are frightened and frightening to behold
The kids come out fighting and still doing what they're told
But you're waking a monster that will drive you from your hoary holes oDmaj7f gold
And your body will get cAold
[Chorus]
  CAnd we don't waste time with love
  GIt's just death from aAbove
[Verse 2]
AYour head is on fire, your hands are getting weak
We all, we all get stupid in the heat
You've basted your brains with the shatter and defeat up on the Dmaj7street
And this is nAowhere
AThe early years were boring
The quiet, unhappy punk
See mother was a cripple and my father was a drunk but gentle Dmaj7man
So we do the best we caAn
This is thDmaj7e plan
Wear your makeup like a manA  
[Chorus]
  C'Cause we don't waste time with love
  GYeah, we don't waste time with love
It's just a push and a sAhove
[Verse 3]
AWell, there's a full-blown rebellion but you're easy to confuse
By triggered kids and fakers and some questionable views
Oh, call the cops, call the preachers!
Before they let us and they lose
When oh, we all start arguing the history of the Dmaj7Jews
You got nothing left to loAse
Gives me the blues
[Chorus]
  CAnd we don't waste time with love
  CAnd we don't waste time with love
C                              D
[Outro]
So Acall the police
Yeah, call the police
Yeah, call the police
Yeah, call the police
Yeah, call the police
Yeah, call the police
Just chase the cops
Yeah, call the police
You're crazy, man
Yeah, call 'em up
Just call the police
The first in line
They're gonna eat the rich

Dmaj7

[Intro]

A D

We all, we all, we all, we all know this is nothing

A D

We all, we all, we all, we all know this is nothing

A D

We all, we all, we all, we all know this is nothing

This is nowhere

A D

We all, we all, we all, we all know this is nowhere

There is no one

Here

[Verse 1]

It moves like a virus and enters our skin

Dmaj7

The first sign divides us, the second is moving to Berlin

But that's not the state I'm in

Dmaj7 A

The air is thin but that's not the state

The old guys are frightened and frightening to behold

The kids come out fighting and still doing what they're told

Dmaj7

But you're waking a monster that will drive you from your hoary holes of gold

And your body will get cold

[Chorus]

And we don't waste time with love

G A

It's just death from above

[Verse 2]

Your head is on fire, your hands are getting weak

We all, we all get stupid in the heat

Dmaj7

You've basted your brains with the shatter and defeat up on the street

And this is nowhere

The early years were boring

The quiet, unhappy punk

Dmaj7

See mother was a cripple and my father was a drunk but gentle man

So we do the best we can

Dmaj7

This is the plan

Wear your makeup like a man

[Chorus]

'Cause we don't waste time with love

Yeah, we don't waste time with love

It's just a push and a shove

[Verse 3]

Well, there's a full-blown rebellion but you're easy to confuse

By triggered kids and fakers and some questionable views

Oh, call the cops, call the preachers!

Before they let us and they lose

Dmaj7

When oh, we all start arguing the history of the Jews

You got nothing left to lose

Gives me the blues

[Chorus]

And we don't waste time with love

C D

[Outro]

So call the police

Yeah, call the police

Just chase the cops

Yeah, call the police

You're crazy, man

Yeah, call 'em up

Just call the police
