Grow the nanobots

Grow the nanobots up

E        A
Grow them in the cracks in the sidewalk

Wind the nanobots up

Wind them up and ask them a question

Raise the yellow bots up

What with all the hullabaloo

Sleeper cells awaken, now this is your time

E        A          E     A

The sun is rising in the wrong place

E            A
All I see is pictures of matchstick men

 E          A             E   A
I turn my back for two minutes and they've grown again

Pre-Chorus:

      E  A
Rearranging beds

        E    A
Eating what's available

        E   A
In some hand-me-downs

        E     A
Making do with leftovers

             E
Bunking up, sharing comic books

          A          B
Sitting three-deep on each other's laps

Driving on a tidal wave where they
