Verse
C#
I see it in the headlines every week
G#/C
Got another young lover dead on the street
F#
And as his mother breaks down
C#
There’s nothing I can do or say
C#
The politician sends his thoughts and prayers
G#/C
He’s got a razor sharp tongue, but does he really care
F#
Now I’m waking up tired
C#
When I read that nothing’s changed
[Chorus]
D#m
We’re all soldiers
F# C#
Marching endlessly
C# G#/B
In long hair and skinny jeans
D#m
Young and fearless
F# C#
Repeating history
C# G#/B
For the world that we want to see
G#/B
In long hair and skinny jeans
[Hook]
D#m
(Ooh)
F#
(Ooh)
C# G#/C
(Ooh)
[Verse]
C#
Strangers in a town that I’ve never seen
G#/C
Watch their homes burn down in catastrophe
F#
And I’m looking for a star
C#
But this ain’t no movie screen
C#
The scientists’ words won’t be believed
G#/C
Got so many deniers stealing truth like thieves
F#
And as the rain pours down
C#
I’m praying they get washed away
[Chorus]
D#m
We’re all soldiers
F# C#
Marching endlessly
C# G#/B
In long hair and skinny jeans
D#m
Young and fearless
F# C#
Repeating history
C# G#/B
For the world that we want to see
G#/B
In long hair and skinny jeans
D#m
(Ooh)
F#
(Ooh)
C# G#/C
(Ooh)
[Chorus Alt]
D#m
Don’t grow older
F# C#
Wishing you’d said your piece
C# G#/C
That won’t happen to me
D#m
We’re still young and fearless
F# C#
Repeating history
C# G#/C
For the world that we wanna see
G#/C
In long hair and skinny jeans
