Fired-side Chat Lyrics & Chords By Dillinger Four

And did you hear the latest one
About the footprints on your back?
About how they lied, about how they stole
To keep each other in the black?

I really wonder when it all comes down, who will be dancing at the finish line?
Ten to one, it'll be the ones without a spine
Once again, the truth fades into extinction
Short and sweet, this might burn a little now, it burns a little now

I've stopped looking for the medicine
I've stopped thinking it won't happen again
It's one thing to accept it
Another thing to let it catch you from behind

To shake you down
To live with it
And not make a sound
I've stopped looking for the medicine

I'm so sick that we're surprised
Every time we're shown that power corrupts
Thump our chests at the man on the screen
Cursing the green, tell ourselves that enough is enough

I really wonder when it all comes down, who will be dancing at the finish line?
Ten to one, it'll be the ones without a spine
Once again, the truth fades into extinction
Short and sweet, this might burn a little now, it burns a little now

I've stopped looking for the medicine
I've stopped thinking it won't happen again
It's one thing to accept it
Another thing to let it catch you from behind

To shake you down
To live with it
And not make a sound
I've stopped looking for the medicine

Another day, another dollar
Another way to live with a life so intolerable
