[Intro]
Bum-bum-bum-bum, ba-da-da-da!
Bum-bum-bum-bum, ba-da-da, da-da-da!
Bum-ba-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah!

Bum-bum-bum-bum, ba-da-da-da!
Bum-bum-bum-bum, ba-da-da, da-da-da!
Bum-ba-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah!

[Verse 1]
And try to find some new directions
As we're spiralling down and out of control
As we head towards the ground, and we crash as we land
Bum-bum-bum-bum, ba-da-da-da!

Try not to put too much pressure
Onto things on which we cannot depend
Though we're never completely in control of ourselves
Bum-bum-bum-bum, ba-da-da-da!

[Chorus]
Bum-bum-bum-bum, ba-da-da, da-da-da!
Bum-ba-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah!

[Verse 2]
And try to be a little kinder
Try to find a little sympathy for
All the things that we do, and the things that you do!
Bum-bum-bum-bum, ba-da-da-da!
And try not to know all the answers
Got to leave a little mystery, left
For the end of the day, so there's something to say
Bum-bum-bum-bum, ba-da-da-da!

[Chorus]
Bum-bum-bum-bum, ba-da-da, da-da-da!
Bum-ba-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah!

[Bridge]
And try to find some new directions
As we're spiralling down and out of control
As we head towards the ground, and we crash as we land—

Try not to put too much pressure
Onto things on which we cannot depend
Though we're never completely in control of ourselves—

Try to be a little kinder
Try to find a little sympathy for
All the things that we do, and the things that, and—

And try not to know all the answers
Got to leave a little mystery, left
For the end of the day, so there's something, and—
Bum-bum-bum-bum, ba-da-da-da
Bum-bum-bum-bum, ba-da-da, da-da-da
Bum-ba-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

[Outro]
And, oh! Oh!
Oh, oh!
Oh, oh!
Oh, oh!
Oh, oh!
Oh, oh!
Oh, oh!
Oh, oh!

And, bum-bum-bum-bum, ba-da-da-da...
