Em
The TV tells us to be scared
Em
We'd make a difference if we cared
Em
We put our lives all up for sale
Em                              C
We get our truth from the Daily Mail
     Am     Em
It's madness, get used to it

Another unit to be sold
Pig-love is all we'll ever know
So we're gonna live like animals
We're gonna live like animals
It's madness
It's gone to shit

    G                Am            Em
And all the kids are opening their eyes
    G                Am            Em
And all the kids are starting up a fire
 G                  Am              Em
Dancing around, dancing around the light

So drink our blood like a parasite
For occupation: socialite
Just looking for another hit
Opinion's what you say it is?
It's tragic
Get used to it
So write your name as you come in
In case we want to kick you out
We're gonna make 'em build a wall
We're gonna live like animals
It's madness
It's gone to shit

Chorus:
    G                   Am
If you're a something, don't ask for nothing
   Em
If you're a nothing don't ask for something
    G                   Am
If you're a something, don't ask for nothing
   Em
If you're a nothing don't ask for something

And now the kids are opening their eyes
And now the kids are starting up a fire
Dancing around, dancing around the light

Em
So wake up
So wake up
    C     Am
So wake up
        Em
So wake up

        G Am
So wake up
             Em
This ain't a dream
       G              Am           Em
'Cause everything's exactly how it seems

And now the kids are opening their eyes
And now the kids are starting up a fire
Dancing around, dancing around the light

So wake up, so wake up
So wake up, so wake up

So wake up
This ain't a dream
'Cause everything's exactly how it seems

So wake up
