   Hanging out
          G             Bb-A
While the monkeys type away
G         D              A 
  Waiting in my room all day

D   A  G   A 
Why be realistic? (ba ba ba ba ba)
D      A   G       A 
Don't wake me from my dreams (ba ba ba ba ba)
D  A  G        A 
I was individualistic
D     A     G          A 
They kicked me off of the team

             D
We live in a dump
             A 
Admit it's a dump
                   D
Our friends are all nuts
                G
And half of em drunks
                                 
And if they're not nuts
D              Bm
then they're retired nuts
    G               A  
and that may be the hardest nut


D          A/C#
    Makin' plans
    G             Bb-A
The kind that go awry
G         D              A 
Got a full life-time supply

D   A  G   A 
Why be realistic? (ba ba ba ba ba)
D      A   G       A 
Don't wake me from my dreams (ba ba ba ba ba)
D  A  G        A

                  D
We're living with bats
                  A
What's good about that?
                D 
I hear they lay eggs
                  G
And when the eggs hatch
                  D
You gotta believe then
          Bm
There's related madness
         G                  A                 
From the lead that's in the sealing wax

             D
We live in a dump
