Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 We are bouncing  and dancing as you  sing your lullaby
Shouting  'move' when you say 'stay'
 The tune  of your flute is a rifle  you shoot
 That lays  us all down to be prey.
 They love  you, we hate you,
 They made  you, we brake you today, ya-ha
Break  it away, ya-ha-haa
 We are painting  the walls, making jokes  out of laws
 Hiding sleeping  pills under our tongues
 Shut the light,  close the door, we spit them  to the floor
 Then we're hummin'  and a-strummin' and a-bangin'  on drums
 What  did you know when you said  we are wasting away? ya-ha
How  could you say?
How  could you say we just waste away, waste away?
 Big table, not big enough...
How  could you say we just waste  away, waste away?
Hummin'  and a-strummin' and a-bangin'
 A-bangin' on drums,  yeah yeah yeah yeah!
 We will  not be lulled into slumber  by you,
 We will  not be lulled  into sleep.
 For we've  had a taste of this wonderous  place
 And its treasures  we intend  to keep.
 We will  not be lulled into slumber
 We will  not be lulled  into sleep
 For we've  had a taste of
 this wonderous place
 And its treasures  we intend  to keep.
 For we've  had a taste of
 this wonderous place
 And its treasures  we intend  to keep.
 So now  when they say we just
 waste  away, waste away
You  can say 'hey, it's not so.'
Why  is it then that we're growing  and growing and growing and growing,
 And showing them all what we know?  yeah yeah yeah yeah!
 We will  not be lulled into
slumber  by you,  la-dadadaa
 For we've  had a taste of
 this wonderous place,  la-dadadada
 We will  not be lulled into sleep
 For we've  had a taste of
 this wonderous place
 And its treasures  we intend  to keep.
 For we've  had a taste of
 this wonderous place
 And its treasures  we intend  to keep.

We are [D]bouncing and dancing as [G]you sing your lullaby

They m[G]ade you, we brake you to[D]day, [G]ya-ha [D]
[G]Break it [D]away, [G]ya-ha-[A]haa [G]
We are p[D]ainting the walls, making j[G]okes out of laws
Hiding s[D]leeping pills under our to[G]ngues
Shut the l[D]ight, close the door, we spit [G]them to the floor
Then we're [D]hummin' and a-strummin' and a-b[G]angin' on drums
