Em                 C 
We meet in underground parking lots 
Em             C 
And late night in coffee shops 
Em             C 
With voices low unless we're drunk 
Em              C 
We've got hats and cop sunglasses 
Em                              C 
We question all that is wrong    We discuss conspiracy 
Em                              C 
Are we enemies of the state?   Or idealist bourgeoisie?
