[Verse 1A]
Those violins playing inside your head
Please shut 'em up
I’m sleeping; the doorway’s over there
The boy I was is gone, they blew his happy brains out
They ground him down
I never thought that I would end up here

[Chorus]
Let’s take the songs to the town, so they can shoot ‘em all down
Kill the orchestra - we’re dying anyway

[Verse 2A]
You’d start a war with all the words in the world
But it's not enough
You’re losing, and no one really cares

[Chorus]
Let’s take the songs to the town, so they can shoot ‘em all down
Kill the orchestra - we’re dying anyway

[Verse 1B]
Beside the car sits the never-was rock star
Stuck in the past with your woe-is-me story
I used to care, now you’ll get little sympathy
So get your guitar - it’s the death of a salesman
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’ll be singing when they string you up
Yes, I’ll be singing when they string you up

[Verse 2B]
Who’s laughing now? Now you find your house empty
Desdemona, what did you do to yourself?

[Pre-Chorus]
And I’ll be singing when they string you up
Yes, I’ll be singing as they string you up

[Chorus]
Let’s take the songs to the town, so they can shoot ‘em all down
Kill the orchestra - we’re dying anyway

[Bridge]
Look what you’ve become - you’re the neighborhood parody
The player of games, your own worst enemy
So play it again, please play it again for me
Your secret is out, laid out for all to see

[Verse 1 - Reprise]
Those violins playing inside your head
Please shut 'em up
I’m sleeping; the doorway’s over there
[Chorus]
Let’s take the songs to the town, so they can shoot ‘em all down
Kill the orchestra - we’re dying anyway

[Pre-Chorus]
And I’ll be singing as they string you up
Yes, I’ll be singing as they string you up

[Day And Age - Reprise]
(Relax...)
(Relax...)
What have we done? (Can you see me?)
What have we done? (I can see you)
Tell me, what have we done? (Can you see me?)
What have we done? (I can see you)
(Everything is okay...)
(Everything is okay...)
(Relax...)
(Enjoy yourselves...)
