A           A 
 I was off 
                      D 
Keying cars parked on radium lawns 
    E 
By suburbian moms 
A                   A 
 I called a friend 
Let's meet at ten 
     D 
Go wherever we want 
              E 
'Cause no one cares that we're gone 

A 
 This town don't got much to do 
 A 
You and I haven't got much to lose 
D                                             E 
Do you wanna rock in your room like we always do? 
A 
 Talk about how fast we grew 
    A 
And all the big dreams that we won't pursue 
     D                                            E 
Then get in your car and laugh 'til we both turn blue 

                  A 
'Cause we are the helpless, selfish, one of a kind 
A 
Millennium kids, that all wanna die 
D                                              E 
Walking in the street with no light inside our eyes 
           A 
We are the worthless, cursed with too much time 
A 
We get into trouble and lose our minds 
D                                               E 
Something that I've heard a million times in my life 
E 
Generation Why 

A 
   Parents think, we're fast asleep 
        D                                         E 
But as soon as we're home, we're sneaking out the window 
A 
'Cause at this rate of earth decay 
    D 
Our world's ending at noon 
                E 
Can we all just move to the moon? 

A 
This town don't got much to do 
    A 
And you and I haven't got much to lose 
D                                             E 
Do you wanna leave everyone in this place for good? 
 
                  A 
'Cause we are the helpless, selfish, one of a kind 
A 
Millennium kids, that all wanna die 
D                                              E 
Walking in the street with no light inside our eyes 
           A

A 
We get into trouble and lose our minds

We're livin' night to night 
A                   F#m 
Why why why why why why why why 
            E 
Since we're bound to die, oh 
A 
Why why why why why why why why 
D 
Oh, what's the use in trying? 
Why why why why why why why why 
         E 
And it's exactly why 
                   
'Cause we are the helpless, selfish, one of a kind 

Millennium kids, that all wanna die
