F E
I am oh so fascinated,
Am
I am oh so entertained,
F E
standing here like a comedian,
Am
I repeat what I said, again and again and again
F E
until the meaning has become an imitation of itself,
Am
an impression of an original defeats the fucking purpose.
F E
I don't know where this is going,

G Am F
Oh good God, holy shit, joke's on us, not on them.
G Am F
Just pretending to be astronauts, police officers, and firemen.

And everybody's watching the lead singer in the band.
F E
The guitars explode into a drumbeat that's driving.

It's pretty fucking boring, isn't it?
F E

Am
of all the ways we'd like for it to be,
F E
they're just drunken conversations,
Am
song lyrics sung at the top of our lungs so desperately.
G Am
I believe in a power that is of and by the people.
G Am
I believe in an art that cannot be compromised.
G Am
I believe that I will endure, and I will overcome.
G Am
And I will sing it until I no longer remember the reason.
G Am F
Oh good God, holy shit, joke's on us, not on them.

Just pretending to be astronauts, police officers, and firemen.
