Lawrence Arms Chicago Is Burning Lyrics

Chicago Is Burning  Lyrics

we throw out our bodies on the fire and we die, settle into ashes as the flames
keep piling high we tossed and spread the kerosene and alcohol, the ethylene
ignited cardboard homes. the second in a hundred and again as many years street
signs, skyscrapers and names. state street, what a great street when the places
and the people stayed the same. winter beats the summer on the worst ones i
fall in love again on the first ones carbon vapor lines burn as a grid like the
burning summer evenings like my fingertips did ... this town is choking on our
filth obstinate displays of wealth clog our lincoln, wicker, rogers parks.
here's to your health chicago. fiddle as we burn. nevermore, nevertheless build
it up and tear it down and never learn .....
