This whole house is full of flies
Dirty dishes piled so high
But it won't do any good to leave a note
When you get to this point there ain't no hope, it's best to let it go

B E (X2)

The lease is bound to run out soon
Or you can find someone to take your room
You can try your luck in some place new
With some other punks that are more like you, do what you need to do

B E (X2)
F# E (X2)
But it's bound to end the same
A failure to communicate
And the chore wheel never spins
It's hard to believe that we were friends, when we all moved in

B E (X2)
F# E (X2)
At night the mice they eat our food
They cover everything in poo
And the cat doesn't seem to care
The couch is covered in his hair, there's always someone sleeping there

B A# G# F# E E E E F# F# F# F#
No one ever said that it would be easy
Trying to live more like we live in a community
Yeah we could see what it would be like if we all lived on our own
Work all the time just to pay our rent so we can live alone, I don't think so

B E (X2)
F# E (X2)
No one has a front door key
Come on in, don't mind the fleas
Keep the cat and keep the cops out
If it's yellow leave it mellow if it's brown please flush it down

B E (X2)
F# E (X2)
Someone's practicing downstairs
Someone's cutting off their hair
And it's bound to clog the sink
It's so loud that I can't think, but I'm singing along

B E (X2)
F# E (X2)
The dumpster bagels are getting hard
Let's make a fire in the backyard
I heard that someone's coming to stay
No one knows them but that's okay, I'm sure that they are great

B E (X2)
F# E (X2)
And the basement's full tonight
Someone's hanging from the pipes
The empty bottles left behind
Prove the band must have been alright, We all had a good time

B A# G# F# E E E E (X5)
We made this mess this mess made us just like a song we sang along
Our changing faces are pinned up next to the fliers on the wall
And when we're gone we know someone will take our place
This house will never die, this house will never change
This house will never die, no, this house will never change
