It was back in community college, it must have been a writing class, and
Am C G
He said something 'bout 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.
C Am C G
They tore up the house on their way out, so when Scott got home he'd worry you got taken by somebody worse.
[Chorus]
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?
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
C Am F C Am
It was at a show someplace, it really could have been almost anywhere.
C G
Someone kept yelling to stop playing politics, because no one care's.
C Am F C
And it's a game, like the time the U.S. marshals came for you before the sun was up.
Am C G
Guns drawn for breakfast. "Open up this door before we kick it down."
[Chorus]
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?
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? How about now? How about now?
