lyrics

Key of B
Acoustics in Drop D

Intro:
B Bb A E F F#

Verse 1:
B
can't see the cosmos, lock your compost
A
see the shape of that new condo?

G Gb D G G# A

E
housing bubble, many puddles,
G
drink in parks but keep it subtle

G Gb D G A

Chorus:
Gb E
feel the pulse of the frustration, as the streetcar leaves the station
Gb E
driver thanks you for your patience, but a short turn will be taken
B Bb A E F F#
DO THE RACCOON NATION
B Bb A E F F#
Do the raccoon nation

Verse 2:
B
falling glass, sailing masts
A
Look you found a metropass!

G Gb D G G# A

E
winter hating, smog is fading
G
people are still rollerblading

G Gb D G A

Chorus:
Gb
Planners make recommendations
E
Councillors please populations
Gb
Suburbs get a subway station
E
Downtown blames amalgamation
B Bb A E F F#
Do the raccoon nation
B Bb A E F F#
Do the raccoon nation
B Bb A E F F#
King of adaptation
B Bb A E F F#
Do the raccoon nation

Dance Breakdown:
B (A A# B D)
first you make two peace signs
A (D D# E A)
then you put them to your eyes
B (A A# B D)
hunch your back, stick out your bum
A B A
move your feet to the bass drum

B A

Outro:
B Bb A E F F# (for rest of song)

thats the raccoon nation
do the raccoon nation
hey building groundskeeper
meet your chimney sweeper
black and silver creeper
hail the rubbish reeper!
step aside dear beaver
squirrel meet your leader
bird meet your stealer
Frog meet your eater
do the raccoon nation
