Two chips on your shoulder

Stuck wading through a crowd of radical daughters

Basic slogans to combat controllers

See them dance from afar, to guitar on your shoulder

Two chips on your shoulder

Face pressed to glass looking down at the mass march
F# C# D#m
Two cans on your shoulder
D#m
Your playlist knows you better than a closest lover
