[Intro]
G D C We all escaped from somewhere else G D C To the cruel, cruel city where the asphalt melts Em Bm Am In the heat of our anger which finds no release D C In the lab rat maze of ever-narrowing streets G D C It's no surprise G D C We've got blood in our eyes G D C We've been alone too long G D C We belong together with our weapons drawn
Em C D x2
[Verse 1]
Em Tonight, tonight I'm dreaming of my queer girl gang C D We who walk this deadly path Em And the city that tries to kill us each night C D Will soon bow before our wrath, ah
Em C D
[Verse 2]
Em We've got death stares to ward off enemies C D Amulets to ward off fear Em And I try to keep count, try to guess the amount C D Who'll make it through the coming year D The coming year
Em
[Pre-Chorus]
Am So now we're calling out to stations 'cross the underground G Gather all your savages and send them out Am If you get the signal come defend the crown C G D That nobody knows you wear
[Chorus]
Em G We're out here on the attack C D We wear the lilac and black Em G We might not make it back C D We wear the lilac and black Em C D x2 (aggressively, like the chorus) Em C D x2 (softer, like verses)
[Verse 3]
Em The cis question if we really exist, C D Sometimes even we've got doubts Em But the feminine deferred like a rubbed-out word C D Is still passed around from mouth to mouth Emadd9 C D Hell, yeah
[Verse 4]
Em We might smile and laugh in a photograph C D But you know our pretty heads are haunted Em We're the frozen girls in a planned-out world C D They never once asked us what we wanted, no
Em
[Pre-Chorus]
Am So now we're in the territory we've been in before G End the preparations as begin the war Am The streets of this city's what we're asking for C G D And we'll take 'em if they're not given
[Chorus]
Em G We're never coming back C D We wear the lilac and black Em G We're out here on the attack C D We wear the lilac and black Em G No, we might not make it back C D Oh, we wear lilac and black Em G We leave no trace you can track C D We wear the lilac and black
[Outro]
