(1 strum) (4 strums) Hangin' out While the monkeys type away A (hold) Waiting in my room all day (2 strums) Why be realistic? Don't wake me from my dream I was individualistic They kicked me off the team (4 strums) We live in a dump Admit it's a dump Our friends are all nuts And half of 'em drunks And if they're not nuts Then they're retired nuts And that might be the hardest nut (bass notes) (soft) Makin' plans (build) The kind that go awry A (hold) Got a full life-time supply (2 strums) Why be realistic? Don't wake me from my dream I was individualistic They kicked me off the team (4 strums) We're living with bats What's good about that? I hear they lay eggs And when the eggs hatch You gotta believe then There's related madness From the lead that's in the sealing wax We live in a dump Admit it's a dump Our friends are all nuts And half of 'em drunks And if they're not nuts Then they're retired nuts And that might be the hardest nut We live in a dump (one strum)
