It was back in community college, it must have been a writing class,
   Am                 C                             G
and he said something about how we need the cops to protect us. And I snapped.
C                                         Am               F
"Protect us," like the night when you got kidnapped by the pigs.
                 Am                 C                                      G

Am              C                Am                    F    G     Am
   I played the show that night, although my blood was fire in my mouth,
                C                    G                  F
until he walked into the room--still free, at least for now.
Am        C                    Am         F         G        Am
   And we were young once, and sang songs about not giving a fuck,
       C                G                     F
acting like we had some guts. Well, how about now?

               C                        G

   And we were young once, and sang songs about not giving a fuck,
       C                G                     F
acting like we had some guts. Well, how about now? How about now? How about now?
