[Verse 1]
We are lonely, we are sad
Downright grim's the best we've ever had
Something preying, on your mind
Everybody's got an axe to grind

[Chorus]
Ba-ba, ba-ba
Ba ba bop
Ba-ba ba-ba
Ba ba bop-ba

[Verse 2]
Here we are, clutching straws
Hope's a thing that leaves you sore

[Refrain]
(Do do do do, do
Do do do do do dit-de-do-da-uh)
Do do do do do
Do do do do do dit-de-do-da-uh

[Chorus]
Ba-ba, ba-ba
Ba ba bop
Ba-ba ba-ba
Ba ba bop-ba
[Verse 3]
Here we are clutching straws
Here we are
Here we are, here we are
Clutching straws

[Chorus]
Ba-ba, ba-ba
Ba ba bop-bop
Ba-ba ba-ba
Ba ba bop ba ba ba
