Dm
F Am
This is our town, this is Friday night
F Am
Dressed in our rags and our rage and our best
Dm C F
Piercing eyes looking for something - anything, just anyone.
F Am
Stare across the floor as they begin to dance
F Am
Missing all the rhythms and the chosen right steps
Dm C
And we laugh and we drink in our corner again
F
We're better than them
F Am
Divided we were born, divided we live
F Am
Divided we fall, divided we die
Dm C
Still we tell ourselves over and over again
F
We're better than them
Am D Am D
With our hunger and our hatred, we all walk this town
F G D
With our fear and our weakness - just holding on
Am D Am D
With our doubt and our emptiness and this cold, cold frown
F G D
We've got to be so important, we'll put the whole damn world down
F Am
And we build the walls that we can hide behind
F Am
And our finest weapon is our poisoned pride
Dm C
Here in this town where the jealousies burn
F
We're watching you
F Am
'Cause truth is only what we need it to be
F Am
To bring us survival through each and every day
Dm C F
When nowhere is safe and nowhere is home - just be cool
F Am
And what was she wearing and what did he say?
F Am
Who goes with who and what did they do?
Dm C
We tell ourselves over and over again
F
We're better than them
Am D Am D
With our hunger and our hatred, we all walk this town
F G D
With our fear and our weakness - just holding on
Am D Am D
With our doubt and our emptiness and this cold, cold frown
F G D
We've got to be so important, we'll put the whole damn world down
F Am
Divided we were born, divided we live
F Am
Divided we fall, divided we die
Dm C
Still we tell ourselves over and over again
F
We're better than them
F Am F Am Dm C F
