D                       Em
This is our town, this is Friday night

D                          Em
Dressed in our rags and our rage and our best

Em                    D               D
Piercing eyes looking for something - anything, just anyone.

D                                Em
Stare across the floor as they begin to dance

D                               Em
Missing all the rhythms and the chosen right steps

       Em                        D
And we laugh and we drink in our corner again

                  D
We're better than them

   D                     Em                   
Divided we were born, divided we live

   D                Em
Divided we fall, divided we die

         Em                      D
Still we tell ourselves over and over again

                  D
We're better than them

         Em             A              Em             A
With our hunger and our hatred, we all walk this town

         D            D               A
With our fear and our weakness - just holding on

         Em            A                  Em               A
With our doubt and our emptiness and this cold, cold frown

               D     D                            A
We've got to be so important, we'll put the whole damn world down

       D                           Em
And we build the walls that we can hide behind

        D                   Em
And our finest weapon is our poisoned pride

Em                          D
Here in this town where the jealousies burn

               D
We're watching you

       D                     Em
'Cause truth is only what we need it to be

   D                                 Em
To bring us survival through each and every day

     Em                    D                     D
When nowhere is safe and nowhere is home - just be cool

    D                        Em
And what was she wearing and what did he say?

D                     Em
Who goes with who and what did they do?

   Em                      D 
We tell ourselves over and over again

                  D
We're better than them

         Em             A              Em             A
With our hunger and our hatred, we all walk this town

         D            D               A
With our fear and our weakness - just holding on

         Em            A                  Em               A
With our doubt and our emptiness and this cold, cold frown

             D        D                           A
We've got to be so important, we'll put the whole damn world down

   D                     Em                   
Divided we were born, divided we live

   D                Em
Divided we fall, divided we die

         Em                      D
Still we tell ourselves over and over again

                  D
We're better than them
