[Verse]
G#m B G#m F#
God what a mess, on the ladder of success
E F# B
Where you take one step and miss the whole first rung
G#m B G#m F#
Dreams unfulfilled, graduate unskilled
E F# B
It beats pickin' cotton or waitin' to be forgotten
[Chorus]
E B
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
E B
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
E F#
The daughters and the sons
[Verse]
G#m B G#m F#
Clean your baby womb, trash that baby boom
E F# B
Elvis in the ground, waitin' on a beer tonight
G#m B G#m F#
Income tax deduction, what a hell of a function
E F# B
It beats pickin' cotton or waitin' to be forgotten
[Chorus]
E B
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
E B
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
E F# B
The daughters and the sons
C#m E
Unwillingness to claim us, got no warrant to name us
[Solo]
G#m B G#m F#
The ones love us best are the ones we'll lay to rest
E F# B
And visit their graves on holidays at best
G#m B G#m F#
The ones love us least are the ones we'll die to please
E F# B
If it's any consolation, I don't begin to understand them
[Chorus]
E B
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
E B
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
E F#
The daughters and the sons
[Outro]
D#m
Take it, it's yours...
