        D
Where crybabies cry
In the United States
         A
Bright white on both sides
Like a plate
Bm
Nobody listens
Nobody should
A
It'd be a waste of attention
D
Not enough money
To buy a PC
         A
So I'll come in this weekend
Asleep on my feet
    Bm
And if I forget you
                  A
I'll have nobody left to forget
                              D
I guess that's what assholes get
   A
Traded my day light
        Bm   A
For a career

Chorus:
    D                  A
But I need you to disprove
            Bm       A
My theory of the crows

Pouring my fingers across the keys
Will someone review my salary, please
I'm selling my time to the man who sells style
That time should be mine to waste on you
I'll suck off investors, I'll suck off VCs
I'm losing my posture from time on my knees
They treat me so well cause I'll do anything
It's in the nature of service

Chorus

Kids of the wealthy are raised by the poor
You send daughters to Los Angeles and New York
I need mine to see me when I wake up
I need mine to know that I'm what they come to
That I'm what they come to
That I'm what they come to
That I'm what they come to
When they come home
