Certain streets have certain corners

We are the central shaft - And thus through-

We are the table, the captain's table
G#
Let's get it understood, let's get it understood

We are the losers, we are the bruisers
F#
Let's get it understood, let's get it understood
C#

G#
Let's get it understood, let's get it understood
