[Verse 1]
Bm               D
It's always the same shit
Bm                       D
Follow the cracks in the pavement
Em      D           Em
Leading back to the constant
A                 Bb
collapse, it shapes me
Bm                 D
Right place at the wrong time
Bm                D
Right joke with a bad punchline
Em                       D
It's nothing you need to analyse
Em                        Gm      A
We're just livin' la vida loca, baby

[Chorus]
G            Bm                 D
Fuck all the drag, it's endless
D         Em               Bm      G
You can't kill it like you want it
G                       Bm
And when you try to get ahead,
                  D G
you're relentless
G       Em              A
You can never admit how badly
you want it

Follow the kids to the basement
Em              D     Em
