Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
GEm There's a humming in the restless summer air DAm And we're slipping off the course that we prepared GEm But in all chaos there is calculation DAm Dropping glasses just to hear them break GEm You've been drinking like the world was gonna end it didn't DAm Took a shiner from the fist of your best friend go figure GEm It's clear that someone's gotta go DAm We mean it but I promise we're not mean
[Pre-Chorus:] GEm And the cry goes out HaaaHaaa DAm They lose their minds for us GEm And how it plays out HaaHaa
Now we're in the ring DAm And we're coming for blood
[Chorus:] GEm You could try and take us oh-oh DAm But we're the gladiators Oh Oh GEm Everyone a rager oh-oh DAm But secretly they're saviors GEm Glory and gore go hand in hand DAm That's why we're making headlines Oh Oh GEm You could try and take us oh-oh DAm But victory's contagious
[Verse 2:] (Palm muted) GEm Delicate in every way but one the swordplay DAm God knows we like archaic kinds of fun the old way GEm Chance is the only game I play with baby DAm We let our battles choose us
[Pre-Chorus] GEm And the cry goes out HaaaHaaa DAm They lose their minds for us GEm And how it plays out HaaHaa
Now we're in the ring DAm And we're coming for blood
[Chorus] GEm You could try and take us oh-oh DAm But we're the gladiators Oh Oh GEm Everyone a rager oh-oh DAm But secretly they're saviors GEm Glory and gore go hand in hand DAm That's why we're making headlines Oh Oh GEm You could try and take us oh-oh DAm But victory's contagious
[Bridge:] GEmDAm No-one round here's good at keeping their eyes closed GEmDAm The sun's starting to light up when we're walking home GEmDAm Tired little laughs gold-lie promises we'll always win at this GEmDAm I don't ever think about death GEmDAm It's alright if you do it's fine GEmDAm We gladiate but I guess we're really fighting ourselves GEmDAm Roughing up our minds so we're ready when the kill time comes GEmDAm Wide awake in bed words in my brain GEmDAm Secretly you love this do you even wanna go free GEmDAm Let me in the ring I'll show you what that big word means
[Chorus] GEm You could try and take us oh-oh DAm But we're the gladiators Oh Oh GEm Everyone a rager oh-oh DAm But secretly they're saviors GEm Glory and gore go hand in hand DAm That's why we're making headlines Oh Oh GEm You could try and take us oh-oh DAm But victory's contagious
