[Verse]
AWe're not so different, you know
just one or two chromosomes F#mslipped backward makes us bastards
AAdmit we're worms in the earth, so swallow, pass out that dirt
F#mThey need us - walking on the path created Dby our mouths, our guts
Not once, but always treated Elike a clown, like rust cleaned up, we're trash this time
[Chorus]
AWe're just a waste of a life - F#mwhy bother even trying?
DOur pupils pointed inside Eour skulls
Prefer just to sigh-Aigh away like our conversations
F#mSigh away from obliteration
DFly away from the radio station - it's Eall just useless information
[Verse]
AYou and me's all that we've got
A pair of demons, we F#mrot in pieces
If we're found out: ironed creases, Adust swept beneath royal rug
We've dug ourselves deep enough, F#mso fingers crossed it passes
DWorst case it's death, so listen: that sound out loud, that thunder
EDelay is so misleading, eyes open, no more sleeping
[Chorus]
AWe're just a waste of a life - F#mwhy bother even trying?
DOur pupils pointed inside Eour skulls
Prefer just to sigh-Aigh away like our conversations
F#mSigh away from obliteration
DFly away from the radio station - it's Eall just useless information
[Bridge]
AWe're the problem anybody'd argue, hear the sobbing coming from the bathroom?
DClear your throat, start dabbing all your tears You hear the sirens coming the horizon
ADark, we'll keep each other on the line, say bye, we'll sigh in the morning when the sun's up
DWe're the problem, you'll see it if you look, don't hide your eyes - doesn't matter in the darkness
[Chorus]
AWe're just a waste of a life - Dwhy bother Eeven trying?
AOur pupils pointed inside Dour skulls
PreEfer just to sigh-Aigh away like our conversations
DSigh away from oEbliteration
AFly away from the radio station - it's Dall just useless Einformation
  AIt's Dall just useless Einformation
  AJust useless information
