Let loose with your charms

Go reckless, unharmed

We all signed the card:

"Get well, but don't you try too hard"

The lessons unlearned

Oh, this meeting is adjourned

Oh, these Western concerns

Hold my place in line while I get your turn [Verse 2]

C                              Am
To the empty balconies we serenade

                                                 C
All the playgrounds where them kids don't get to play

                                       Am
Dirty parkies went and chased them all away

To the game consoles to fatten [Chorus]

The best room they have

Is the last room you want

Police tape is tied

Nine through thirty-two

We beg while we chew [Bridge]

        Dm          Am
Feeling tired every time that you try?

Ain't it hard feeling tired all the time?

[Verse 3]

The family living upstairs must have a fleet of rider lawn mowers

Scan for some mycelium

And bring a little back to town

[Verse 4]

   C
Go reckless, unharmed

Yep, the shut-ins, they're well armed

         Am
Well, we all led the charge

'Til we ran aground in our party barge

C
Every little gift was just one more part of their grift

             Am
Oh, yeah, we know it

Oh, yeah, we know it

    F
The best news that we got

Was some dumb hokum we'd all bought

           Dm
Oh, though reckless, feeling great

We're the sexiest of all primates

    C
Let loose with our charms

Shake our ass and wave our arms

          Am
All going apeshit
