 x2 (come in on second time)
I'm  left with my lobotomy, lost dreams  of teenage piracy
 to scour  night time city streets for benefits  for all to reap
 and all  of us and in all our scores, we'd run  the streets,
 they'd lock their doors, we're not  a stop or detour,
 we'd take  their world over.
 And when its summer I'll smoke  and choke and work on cancer
 when they all leave,  I'll sleep all fucking winter
 but when the sun does rise,  I'll open up my eyes
 and start the day.
 (Same Chords)
 I woke up an adult today at a loss for the things to say
 and I think and try to start I'm found here all these worlds apart
 on city streets in awe and stunned in burning heat of revolution and as age
 makes one older why can't we start this over?
 Play Intro x2)
 Last Chorus x2: (first time just bass and drums)
 I only smoke Newports
 I only drink  Mexican Coke
 I only surround  myself with people that the world's  lost all hope.
When  I'm at my end and I'm surrounded  by these friends
 Well then I'll look  back at my life and know it was  no fucking joke.
 Intro 1x)
 I hope this is easy enough to follow for everyone.
