Chorus
Dm A# F
A moment of silence please for those who never get the chance
Dm A# F
They show up to the party but they're never asked to dance
Dm A# F
The losers the liars the bastards the thieves
Dm A# A
The cynicists the pessimists and those that don't believe in nothing

Verse
Dm A# F Dm
I never met a loser that I didn't see eye-to-eye with I declare
A# F
I stare into your eyes
Dm A# F
But you look right past me into the air
Dm A# F
What's it like to stand in your shoes
Dm A# A
To have never felt the belt of somebody's abuse
Dm A# F
I take the bottle and I tip it for all my heroes that have passed
Dm A# F
Alas you have left us but your stories they will last
Dm A# F
Uninspired by the recruiting call
Dm
Independent we stand
Dm A# A
Independent we fall

Prechorus Verse
Dm A# F
So tell me how long do you think you can go before you lose it all
F
Before they call you bluff and watch you fall
Dm A#
I don't know but I'd like to think I had control
F F
At some point but I let it go and lost my soul
Dm A#
Sit tight but the revolution's years away
F F
I'm losing faith and I'm running low on things to say
Dm A#
So I guess I have no choice but to regurgitate
F F
The tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite
Dm A# F F
Oh To have died that night I realized it wouldn't last
Dm A#
Our days were numbered and the reaper tipped the hourglass
F F
The final mayday of our sinking ship had come and passed
Dm A# F F
Oh To the west you don't know what it is you're running from
Dm A#
And everybody's laughing loud
F F
Last chance to make your mother and your father proud
Dm A# F Dm A# F Dm A# F Dm A# A
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh
Dm A# F Dm A# F Dm A# F Dm A# A
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh

Verse
Dm A# F
They said a pox upon your house upon your family
Dm A# F
And everyone you knew and everyone you'll ever meet
Dm A# F
I bet they think we wish we joined when we could
Dm A# A
But we do what we want we don't do what we should
Dm A# F
Now everybody's laughing 'cause they're thinking they're
in on something I don't get
Dm
Don't forget
A# F
I connect and I read every word you said
Dm A# F
Like a child who believes he was wronged
Dm A# A
If you hate me so much then stop singing my songs
