Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

  You were one step behind in that dismal school of mine

  Needle and percocet instead of books on students desks

  We were so charming, but the future was alarming

  But now don't you go look so proud

  Yes, guess who's laughing now?

  And we've learned that life is one big game

  Where the winners are all getting paid

  So stop dragging your feet behind

  You can't live with the folks all your life

  So on those days home in your car

  We jerked the steering wheel to the median

  Joking that we'd end our lives

  But we weren't joking all the time

Solo

4x

  "Start a band or throw a brick"

  You lazy hipsters make me sick

  Don't clap your hands; don't start to dance

  Don't let them know that you're a fan

  You may be living in Manhattan

  But where are you really from? (Have you forgotten?)

  Kid, you may be playing your music loud

  But it's drowned out by your mouth
