[Intro]
E5
Grow the nanobots
[Chorus]
E A
Grow the nanobots up
E A
Grow them in the cracks in the sidewalk
E A
Wind the nanobots up
E A
Wind them up and ask them a question
E A
Raise the yellow bots up
E A
Raise them up and make them respect us
E A
Wind the marching bots up
E B
Wind them up and wish them away
[Verse 1]
E A
What with all the hullabaloo
E A
We very nearly forgot about you
E A
Now all the old troubles will soon be at an end
E A B A
And all the new ones will begin when we send the signal
E B
To the newborn citizenship
E A
Of the micronations
E B
Sleeper cells awaken, now this is your time
E A E A
Hear the voices calling to their confederates
E A E
See the tiny figures stretching their limbs
A
Stand back and watch them
[Chorus]
E A
Grow the nanobots up
E A
Grow them in the cracks in the sidewalk
E A
Wind the nanobots up
E B
Wind them up and wish them away
[Verse 2]
E A
The sun is rising in the wrong place
E A
I would decorate the room but there's no more space
E A
All I see is pictures of matchstick men
E A E A
I turn my back for two minutes and they've grown again
[Pre-Chorus]
E A
Rearranging beds
E A
Eating what's available
E A
In some hand-me-downs
E
Making do with leftovers
A
Bunking up, sharing comic books
E A B
Sitting three-deep on each other's laps
E C#m
In a van stacked up on other vans
A B
Driving on a tidal wave where they
[Chorus]
E A
Grow the nanobots up
E A
Grow them in the cracks in the sidewalk
E A
Wind the nanobots up
E B
Wind them up and wish them away
E A
Raise the yellow bots up
E A
Raise them up and make them respect us
E A
Wind the marching bots up
E A B A
Wind them up and get them to send a signal
E B
To the newborn citizenship
E A
Of the micronations
E
Sleeper cells awaken now
B E
This is your, this is your time
