Am                       C
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain

    G                     F
The red flag waving never meant the same

Verse 1:

Am                                 G7/B
  Well I've never seen us act like this

                              Am
Our only hope is the minds of kids

                               G7/B E
And they'll show us a thing or two

Am    C                            G7/B
  Our only weapons are the guns of youth

          E                            Am
It's only time before they tighten the noose

    C                            G7/B E
And then the hunt will be on for you

Am                       C
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain

    G                     F

When they live in the sins of yesterday

Am C                              G7/B
   Like the smallest bee packs a sting

E                        Am
Like a pawn checkmates a king

C                            G7/B E
We'll attack at the crack of dawn

Am C                           G7/B
   Build a ladder if there's a wall

E                           Am
Don't be afraid to slip and fall

      C
Speak for yourself or

                  G7/B E
they'll speak for you
