Teenage Alien Nation
This is another drop D song by American Hi-fi from what I can tell, and I hope it's all right. You could probably play it in standard tuning with the open power chords as just a mute, but see what you think when playing it.

chorus
well that should be most of the song, the solo may be a little off but most of the actual song seem about right.
___________________________________________ Lyrics (www.azlyrics.com)
I want it all No matter what thought you heard me say No matter what you know you cant escape today
So what if you dont like me I dont give a fuck if you dont like me I can change my lock It seems that Im rotten to the core
Forget about tomorrow You and me were going down in sorrow Youth of the nation going nowhere Station to station Teenage alien nation (woah) Teenage alien nation (yeah)
Its all wrong I guess that some of us have come and gone I guess we kinda shudda known it all along Never going anywhere Sometimes you gotta pick it up and roll the dice Your looking back and you dont think twice Bout feeling lonely everyday
Forget about tomorrow You and me were going down in sorrow Youth of the nation going nowhere Station to station [x3] Teenage alien nation [x4]
