E A B B Well every night I go out running or riding my bike I like to sweat, I like the flow I get I like the feeling of the night air hitting my lungs I like the feeling of rain while sticking out my tongue Sometimes I like to pretend I'm on a secret mission sometimes I'm just making sure there's not something out there happening that I'm missing And I swear to you I get a real high from it fuck alcohol and fuck all that shit, and fuck TV Let's meet up with our bikes down by the old train bridge I'll race you downtown and show you what you've missed from inside And let's live our lives tonight let's ride our bikes into the night let's live our lives tonight and that's all I had to say about that

E A F# B No child should never have to see land mines dressed as teddy bears moms and dads killed by dirty drinking water there's conflict on every border Corporations of "the civilized world" copyrights on seeds and medications while people are dying from treatable diseases privilieged assholes preach about Jesus making bombs that can destroy the whole world Poisoned rivers runs like veins through our planet wildlife traded for this months budget there's a disease in their heads I don't doubt it E B A B In fact I wish it's no treatable and I wish that you could die from greed and I wish I was drunk and didn't feel and I just wish that it wasn't for real E E E E E A F# B And my grandma is dying now she says she's wanna end it right now Put a needle right through her heart so she'll never have to feel again It's beyond our dignity to fade away in a hospital bed amputating organ after organ until there's just nothing left... E B A B Now I wish I was drunk in Havana or I wish I could travel back in time or I wish some god just gave me a sign or I wish that we could live as one I just wish that we could live as one

D Bm G A Now if we go to bed early tonight you and me the moon would cast its pale light on nobody and noone would feel the silent power of pine trees in the dark and the crickets would be playing under unseen stars and noone would feeling fear hearing wild thunder rolling in excited and nervous when the lightning comes crashing Raindrops running cold down nobodys sweet chin the night is an adventure just waiting to begin and ooooh (This is the chorus and it just goes oooh) Do you remember those woods where the two rivers meet? There's something magic about that place about that night air we breathe we used to lit a fire here by the river bank but tonight it would just ruin how close we stand And to feel the heat from your lips to mine is the only thing now that comes to my mind with my feet in the sand and your hand in my hand and the raft we built that could take us anywhere tonight Take us anywhere tonight oooh And when the stars comes out to play let's dance this beautiful night away and when the moon shines bright tonight it is night on planet Earth and we are alive and we can do whatever the fuck we decide We don't need permission to live our lives Tonight we can hear the roar of the Esamba take a look into my eyes see any signs of modern life? No signs of modern life ooooh

D D G A Now if you're tired of working overtime for someone else's dream Go pick up a guitar and go busking in the streets and scream your heart out, sing it like you feel it! Why do you need to work for money when we could help each other out? Why do you scream and shout inside? You could be screaming that shit out loud So if the rent's too high, fucking occupy! Let's dumpster dive for furniture and apple pie if we get some more friends we could start an organic farm - somewhere! And we wouldn't need to work for money because we'd help each other out we don't scream and shout inside because we're screaming that shit out loud So if you still got a job you know you ain't been shoplifting enough You know that we were born to rock let's set this world on fire with our hearts with our beautiful hearts So if I help you and you help me we could love each other we could set ourselves free and we wouldn't need your petty excuse of a society No never! And we don't need to work for money no because we help each other out! We dont scream and shout inside because we're screaming that shit out loud!

C G F F Life is short when you die at 24 and now these racist fuckheads try to blame immigration for a white boys knife in your liver sometimes I wake up crying, shivering because you bled to death that night in the hospital Am F F G Can you hear from the other side of eternity my heart beat? If you could just feel what I'm feeling tonight then I'd be feeling alright 'cause you'd be feeling alive F but there's no turning back G nah you'll never be back C G F F It was you and me and Katrin almost ten years ago we worked to keep the youth clubs from shutting down in a torn apart society where everyone's afraid of each other there's 50 people on this tram but everyone's sitting alone Am F F G Can you hear from the other side of eternity my heart beat? If you could just feel what I'm feeling tonight then I'd be feeling alright 'cause you'd be feeling alive F but there's no turning back G nah you'll never be back F G And now you're alone again End on Am.

My golden tie is not too rough enough Life is a party and I am invited I do it three chord style I do it computerized I do it on the MTV with a lot of chicks showing their tan lines I do it for the dance floors I do it for the company's high scores But mainly I do it to get rich So goodbye normal people! 'cause I'm rich bitch!

A D A E, A D E A well in my heart I'm already leaving now and in my mind I left the modern world behind the city lights are too bright to see the stars and these city hearts too stressed to set a spark D E A A x4 But this spark of mine I'm gonna let it shine in this concrete graveyard they call a town may our hearts be one and may wild thunder strike us down! A D A E, A D E A Growing up we needn't even lock the door we just ran through the summernights never to be bored take a dive into the river, building huts in the woods and these neighborhood parties lasted all night through D E A A x4 Yea we rode our bikes through the twilight and the night belonged to us, we belong to the night we were happy, we were free we never wanted things to be differently A D A E, A D E A But growing up you're gonna need a place to stay and you know that you gotta make every month pay A lot of different people makes this suburb pretty great but everyone's too fucking tired to make something out of it D E A A x4 This city brings people to their knees the city was made for banks, malls and money so may our hearts be one and may wild thunder strike us down A D A E, A D E A Yea I know that this economy doesn't grow for you and me and I know that we've been living on a lot of love lately But I also know we can turn those malls into community centers and the banks into common property D E A A x8 And we can plant trees in those streets tear down the parking lots and plant beans burn the cars, ride our bikes and dance around a campfire every night And this spark of mine I'm gonna let it shine! in this concrete graveyard they call a town May our hearts be one and may wild thunder strike us down

A E D E, A E D..... E A E D E I'm gonna need a job for the summer maybe at the bank I'm gonna need a fucking gun for the summer at the same fucking bank! D E A F#m, D E A.... But why bother when the sun is shining?

D D G A Well there's not as much time to life as I'd like to believe set the birds free! and let the cages be baskets or tables or whatever you like I don't care as long as those chickens gets to fly free up in the sky somewhere where they always longed to be And there's not as much rainforest left as you might believe you enjoy your bloody steak but is it worth the deal? We're cutting down the forests to breed cows That's insane! stop breeding cows! And I'd like to spend eternity waking up in a tent and breathe the fresh warm air of the summernight was everything I ever needed to feel alright And way over yonder I hear wild thunder rolling in and it makes me a little bit nervous, but also excited and when the rain comes crashing I just wanna get out there and dance! Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance! Papapapapa papa pappapa Set the (animal)s free so they can get out there and dance set yourself free today so you can get out there and dance!

D D G A x3 F# F# G A A can of coffee in the morning makes me feel less numb these pills calms my heart down it's pounding in my ears when I try to sleep I read books so I don't have to think about how I feel Nervous breakdowns and panic attacks sometimes I just start running thinking I'll never come back So sick of feeling so far away from everything so sick of people believing that they can't do everything G A D D But when the stars comes out to play let's dance this beautiful night away and when the moon shines bright tonight it is night on planet Earth and we are alive! and we can do whatever the fuck we decide we don't need permission for living our lives You are the most amazing person alive! D D G A x3 F# F# G A Hey kids!

D D G A End on D

Am G F C-G, Am G F F Discourse against discourse - there's a world war there's power and there's greed keping scores there's arbitrary morals formed into laws and there's politics of tactics rather than justice for all HIV-economy! All for one, one for money Animal testing and nuclear warheads heading for our heads, heading for our death beds Dm C G G We wipe our asses with the forests that once were our religion We wipe this planet free from species once we lived among them Am G F C-G, Am G F F All the power is in the hands of the people rich enough to buy our lands plastic hearts, souls and lives plastic truths and plastic lies Dm C G G I try to escape and I try to find some inner peace of mind but my only hope is that we learn to survive without this destrucion that we call a lifestyle Am G F C-G, Am G F F Must be a 1000 people living on my street but when I go out at night the only ones I meet is some kids with no place to be 'cause everybody is at home watching TV Dm C G G A mass movement of wasted time and wasted opportunity A generation of crime against everything we have to be thankful for Am G F C-G, Am G F F Dm C G G And when I look up at the sky tonight there are no bombs a falling and I'm so happy that I am alive I hear a whisper from the pine trees calling Am G F C-G, Am G F F End on Am.

A C#m D E Oh yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away but today I'm in school and it fucking sucks, 'cause it's monday and the teacher says bla bla bla bla bla... and I'm looking out the window and the sun is shining out there and the rabbits are all jumping around playing with each other in the greens And I just wanna run, bla bla bla and I just wanna jump around and I just wanna have fun riding my bike in the sun And I ride it past the football field past the pond in the green where the ducks lure and scheme and yes I ride it past the factory where daddy used to work before he got a better job in the city And I ride it 'round and 'round and up and down the hill and I ride it past the cancer hospital where the sun is shining through the windows And I just wanna run, bla bla bla and I just wanna jump around and I just wanna have fun riding my bike in the sun Instead of sitting here inside on a monday, on a tuesday, on a wednesday I'm writing on my bench by thursday How would you think that I would feel on a friday? Who gives a crap about math? When I love you and you love me and who gives a shit about history well there's no history where I now be and who needs biology? Not the birds nor the flowers nor the little bee and in none of them books that they let me read there's a description of the way that I feel And I just wanna run, bla bla bla and I just wanna jump around and I just wanna have fun riding my bike in the sun

E B Well because I rode my bike all the way A E from Gothenburg city E B E A E B I never had but that one, one thin dime E Gonna give away all my things, except for this bike A and I'll ride away straight into the night E B and I'm never coming back to this god forsaken town Tell my boss to shove it, tell the state I'm dead I'll live on wild berries and this song in my head You'll find me by the end of the road Well everybody's at home alone watching TV Eating dinner in the couch, but I know you can break free Tonight there's a barbecue out on the street Tomorrow the whole world lies to our feet! E A So freight train - come and take my worried soul away E I've been lying here watching the stars B but now I think it's time to set me own spark You gotta pick a lot of cotton to smoke a cuban ceegar gotta need them lot of money to drive a brand new car but you wont need it to spend your whole life working hard Sure I'll miss paying bills like I'd miss a gun to my head I'll miss the toxic fumes like I miss being dead I'll miss concrete but these holes in my shoes will soon turn back into feet E A So freight train - come and take my worried soul away E I've been lying here watching the stars B but now I think it's time to set me own spark E B A E Well I rode my bike all the way from Gothenburg city E B E I never had but that one, one thin dime

E B A B Now there's a war burning out there and it comes to tow your heart away so watch out! Watch out people now! It's a good day to take one's life but I rather fall in love than fall in line They say we gotta defend our freedom but the only freedom from their fire is to run run run So we're gonna steal a rich kids bike and me and Jessica are gonna take it for a hike we're gonna fight for as long as our hearts beat we're gonna make it for that island in the summer heat And we're gonna make it for the skies tonight we're gonna make it for the skies tonight we're looking at the same stars way up high but we don't need to confuse our stars with exploding fire Well I'm watching the war on TV and I'm watching children die So I switch the fucking channels to a comedy show to avoid to start to cry I don't know what goes on in peoples minds how can you drop a bomb over someone elses life? There was this clip of a girl whos heart stopped when the bombs began to fall right over her neighborhood they said she died from fear of dying but I believe she died because all of her love for this world was gone She's gonna make it for the skies tonight she's gonna make it for the skies tonight she's gonna make it for the skies tonight and I hope she wont confuse those stars with exploding fire You're all tense and so stressed up your heart is beating so hard and fast, will it ever stop? I think you need to come with us on our bike maybe you can bring a tent to sleep in for the night We will need it on that island in the sun eating fruits on the beach all day long You know there's a thing called island time and it's not as uptight as usual time - it's more relaxed So when the night comes a sneaking to tow your heart away I wanna run in the sand with you 'cause tonight we're gonna make it for the skies alright We're gonna make it for the sky tonight we're gonna make it for the sky tonight we're gonna ask the sky fucking why tonight!! But I'm afraid we wont get our answers from way up high

E A B E On this train heading north we left our lives for a dream of something better a dream we could achieve tonight On this train heading for the border Praise! the new world order Safety for the rich - trickle down economics But hide! 'cause cops are coming, hide! The world is running wild I hope we'll make it alive You know I can see at the end of the tunnel - light! Just hope it ain't police flashlights On this train bound for glory please at least let me tell my story I never wanted to be living like a criminal be dying like a dog at the age of 14 all I wanted was a job and a place to call my home But hide! 'cause cops are coming, hide! The world is running oh so wild I hope we'll make it alive You know I can see at the end of the tunnel - light! Just hope it ain't police flashlights On this train heading for the sky when they shot me down I never bothered asking why but now I fly fly fly fly fly You know I can see at the end of the tunnel - light! just hope it ain't an oncoming train On this train heading north we left our lives for a dream of something better a dream they took away from us tonight

E Well it's raining outside today it's really pouring out there today A but I am inside E drinking wine B A E B and singing to myself, things that are on my mind We went to the hospital today but don't worry about it though Noone is hurt, but we're gonna have a baby Jessie and I - so we went and saw it with that ultrasound machine that they have there And we saw it kicking and the heart it was beating and it was sucking on it's thumb today So I don't care if it's autumn outside and the rain is pouring down 'cause Bam Bam is alive! in Jessie alright, yeah! Yea it's raining outside today it's really pouring out there today Yes but I am inside celebrating life and singing to myself, things that are on my mind

E B E E - Once every verse A B E Ex2 - Multiple varying times One day we will all be dead but today the cheap wine we stole still spins through my head as we run from the security guard with the sunshine in our eyes and skate burns on our thighs We're so happy just to get out of there alive! Here's to this town and all its shitty basements here's to the many bands that we thought would have a chance High on the smell of sweat and the lack of oxygene And I hope this old world drags us down to the point of no return where there's no reason not to burn our old spoiled comforts and start taking care of this Earth And I hope that I'll never find a job because being out of money, yea it teaches you a lot about hunger, love and what matters and what not My bike takes me in any direction I want it's blue as the sea and it carries you and me from wherever we ever want to leave From this hill we can see the whole town with the dark woods behind and the bright lights downtown and the summernight air in your hair smells just fine If we make out now we'll wake up tomorrow naked in this field just wondering what to feel and how to get a bite to eat!

Am Am G F F Sometimes it helps me when I feel down to think back to carboniferous times my ancestors 300 million years ago amphibians hiding from a tropic storm Your world looked a lot different than mine but it's the same ground that we still walk upon Thank you for taking care Although I bet you were scared! Dm F Am Am Ooooh oohoh ooh x2 Am G F F Also when your first ever child is born rich in mind but so weak and so small for months and months you just carry them around realizing this has been done since ancient times connecting you to people just like you loving their kids millions of years ago Dm F Am Am and oooh oooh ooh x2 Am G F F When this civilisation has been brought down skyscrapers and bubble gum humans defeated by climate change I bet life will find a way with shuttles of steel we escape through space on a vast jungle planet we set up our base a dozen of people trying to survive spending our days finding new ways to stay alive! Dm F Am Am And oooho ooh ooooh x4 Am G F F At night we all take turn guarding the camp everywhere there are noises that we can't understand Some plants try to eat you, some shine a light Silent creatures wander through the jungle at night The stars here are different from planet Earth When we think back now, oh how it hurts! Dm F Am Am Ooooh oooh Oh how it hurts, when we think back now oh how it hurts
