             D
We're not strong enough
G          D
We're not young enough

We're not alone enough, or cold enough
Emotionally we're not even old enough

         D                             G
Late at night, we're in a video-game dream
(There is no)
             D                       G
There is no lover in this numbered scene
(We summon every)
                  D                    G
We summon every childhood ghost we've seen
(Then suddenly we)
                  D                    G
Then suddenly we hear that Mike Post theme

Chorus:
D                         G      G/F G/E
Everything is all right (bong de bong)
We've prayed today (la-da-da-da-dah)
Everything is OK (bong de bong)
We've played today

Late at night on the underground train
Through endless suburbs in endless pain
Deep in the tunnel under the London rain
Suddenly we hear Mike Post again

Chorus:
Everything is all right (bong de bong)
We've prayed today (la-da-da-da-dah)
If there really is a God (bong de bong)
We should be laid today

    A                      B
We watch those films that make men cry
 A/C#                   D
Young lovers kiss then fight and die
A                       B
We start to yearn, we climb the vine
A/C#                  A/E
We have to face the truth some time

We're not strong enough
We're not young enough
We're not alone enough, or cold enough
Emotionally we're not even old enough
For love...

But late at night we find the racing tame
We're faced with women and a reality game
We feel alive, we feel new and blind
We're hearing Mike Post in the air this time

Chorus:
Everything is all right (bong de bong)
We've prayed today (la-da-da-da-dah)
If there really is a God (bong de bong)
We should get laid today

There comes a time in every little punk's life
Where he has to write a song for his common-law wife
We make our women wait until they wanna scream
But we can always whistle that Mike Post theme

Chorus:
Everything is all right (bong de bong)
We've prayed today (la-da-da-da-dah)
If there really is a God (bong de bong)
We should get laid today

We watch those films that make men cry
Young lovers kiss then fight and die
We start to yearn, we climb the vine
We have to face the truth some time
