Verse:
E5   C5                G5               D5
    I say I've got nothing to live for like
E5 E5 C5  G5                                  D5
                there's someone who does
E5   C5                G5             D5
    I say I feel so betrayed like there's
E5 E5 C5  G5                      D5
                someone that's safe to trust


C5                        G5                   D5
And I'm not for inaction, but I am for despair.

E5 C5 G5 D5

              C5                 G5               D5
May this resignation lead us to battle
    E5                    C5
against forces we know will destroy us
G5                           D5
before they really know we're there.

E5                    G5                              D5                              C5
I'm fighting for something between apocalypse and liberation.
E5                        G5                              D5                           C5
I'm struggling for something between apathy and desperation.
E5                                   C5                            G5                         D5
And just because I'm an anarchist doesn't mean that I won't burn a black flag
E5                                   C5                  G5                              D5
while you're wishing for utopia, I just hope the cops don't search my paper bag.



Chorus:

E5          G5                 D5          C5
Who-o-oa. Who-o-o-o-o-o-oa. Oi! Oi! Oi!
E5          G5                 D5          C5
Who-o-oa. Who-o-o-o-o-o-oa. Oi! Oi! Oi!

E5       C5           G5             D5
    You look out over the on-ramp and
E5 E5 C5                  G5        D5
                all you can do is sigh.
E5       C5                   G5           D5
    I can see that the interstate and the litter
E5 E5 C5                   G5        D5
                 make you wanna die.

C5                               G5             D5                 E5       C5          G5            D5
But the way that the morning sun hits the gasoline rising over concrete;
C5                                         G5       D5
well it just seems so beautiful to me. Yeah!

You're fighting for a globe covered again in fields and forests.
E5                      G5                                     D5        C5
I'm thinking of a world without bricks and it just seems so boring.
E5                  C5                               G5                           D5
But keep your thumb out and we'll make Burlington by 7:30.
E5                  C5                           G5                               D5
You wish the world was clean but I'm in love with the way it's dirty.

E5          G5                 D5          C5
Who-o-oa. Who-o-o-o-o-o-oa. Oi! Oi! Oi!
E5          G5                 D5          C5
Who-o-oa. Who-o-o-o-o-o-oa. Oi! Oi! Oi!

E5      C5                G5              D5   
     He listens to a traffic report
E5 E5 C5                          G5                D5
     about the jam on the way to the city.
E5        C5         G5            D5
And it's only a couple of exits
E5 E5  C5                   G5         D5
   but it seems like a million miles to Philly.
C5      G5                       D5
But I know that we'll make it
E5    C5                      G5          D5
   to the punk house somehow.
C5                                 G5               D5
And I know when we walk in the door
E5   C5     G5     D5
it will be about
E5                        G5                        D5                  C5
who can talk feminism the best to get into girls pants,
E5                                    G5                             D5                C5
and who can quote Emma Goldman the most without having to dance.
E5                        C5                                G5  D5
And singing those stupid protest songs.
E5                                  C5                                        G5                   D5
He says  that music can change the world, but with lyrics like that, I'm so glad hes wrong.

E5          G5                 D5          C5
Who-o-oa. Who-o-o-o-o-o-oa. Oi! Oi! Oi!
E5          G5                 D5          C5
Who-o-oa. Who-o-o-o-o-o-oa. Oi! Oi! Oi!
