G B7 Em C
And I dreamt of a city on fire,
[G]Woke up [B7]to one [C]intact.[D]
[G]Made it [B7]halfway on the [Em]walk to the [C]grocery store,
[G]Before [B7]I turned [C]back.[D]
[G]We could walk until the [B7]concrete ends,
[Em]Quit work until the [C]money's all spent.
[G]But how long until we're [B7]walking back to the [Em]plasma clinic a[B7]gain?
[G]The bosses [B7]we want off our [Em]backs are everywhere we can [C]run,
[G]So if there's a way out if there's a way [B7]out if there's a way out [Em]then it's not on our o[B7]wn, no no.
Repeat that pattern for the second verse etc.
And I dreamt of the needles to come,
And I woke up afraid,
Mad enough to burn down the radio,
That woke me up this way.
I could walk when the bus lines end,
Shoot dope until the money's all spent
But how long until I'm walking back,
To check into detox again?
The monkey I want off my back is everywhere I can run,
So if there's a way out then it's not on my own.
There's a way out but it's not on my-her-his-their-our own.
