You taught me 

                
how to live

Here they come

              
 marching down

                   
 the street


             
Like a despera

             
tion murmur of

                      
 a heart beat
             
Coming back fr

 town
             
Underneath the

In the summer 

       
heat
             
The world is s

   
pinning 
             
Around and aro

  
und
        
Out of control

 again
             
From the 7-11 

             
to the fear of

 
 breaking down
            
So send my lov

           
e a letterbomb
            
And visit me i

      
n hell
           
We're the ones
