New Model Army

^Dm
F This is our town, this i ^Am s Friday night
^F Dressed in our rags and our ^Am rage and our best
^Dm Piercing eyes looking ^C for something - ^F anything, just anyone.
^F Stare across the floor as they be ^Am gin to dance
^F Missing all the rhythms and the ^Am chosen right steps
And we ^Dm laugh and we drink in our ^C corner again
We're better than ^F them
Div ^F ided we were born, div ^Am ided we live
Div ^F ided we fall, div ^Am ided we die
Still we ^Dm tell ourselves over and ^C over again
We're better than ^F them
With our ^Am hunger and our ^D hatred, we all ^Am walk this town ^D
With our ^F fear and our ^G weakness - just ^D holding on
With our ^Am doubt and our ^D emptiness and this ^Am cold, cold frown ^D
We've got to be ^F so im ^G portant, we'll put the whole ^D damn world down
And we ^F build the walls that we can ^Am hide behind
And our ^F finest weapon is our ^Am poisoned pride
^Dm Here in this town where the ^C jealousies burn
We're watching ^F you
'Cause ^F truth is only what we ^Am need it to be
To ^F bring us survival through each and ^Am every day
When ^Dm nowhere is safe and no ^C where is home - just b ^F e cool
And ^F what was she wearing and ^Am what did he say?
^F Who goes with who and ^Am what did they do?
We ^Dm tell ourselves over and ^C over again
We're better than ^F them
With our ^Am hunger and our ^D hatred, we all ^Am walk this town ^D
With our ^F fear and our ^G weakness - just ^D holding on
With our ^Am doubt and our ^D emptiness and this ^Am cold, cold frown ^D
We've got to ^F be so imp ^G ortant, we'll put the whole ^D damn world down
Div ^F ided we were born, div ^Am ided we live
Div ^F ided we fall, div ^Am ided we die
Still we ^Dm tell ourselves over and ^C over again
We're better than ^F them
