G-C
When we were young
Happiness hung from the corners
When we were young
Happiness swung from the trees
Am-G, Am-C-D
And we were not dumb, we were not anything
Shouting to the heavens til our vocal chords were sore
But hearing nothing
Our will was strong
But our faith in the system, it waivered
And when the catechism came, we sold it away for a song
And we were not wrong, we were just practicing
Trying to prolong the taste of something we could only know as laughter
[CHORUS]
G
Now all the kids are writing plays
All the kids are getting married
All the kids settling down
All the kids are having babies
Em-D-G, Em-D-C, Em-D-G, Em-D-Am-C
But we are adults, and we drink!
Toasting the bogs where we sink
Toasting our last cigarettes
Toasting ourselves and our littanany of regrets
G, Em-Am-C-D-G
And Seven Stars Panda will never forget you!
And Seven stars panda will never once let you forget
Yet to belong
To a dubious wisdom we'd pander
And raise one more glass to the transient nature of love
Am-G, Am-C-D
But our ways they are are not strange, they are not anything
Sewing cryptic seeds of our more criminal rewards
But reaping nothing
