G B7 Em C
And I dreamt of a city on fire,
G B7 C D
Woke up to one intact.
G B7 Em C
Made it halfway on the walk to the grocery store,
G B7 C D
Before I turned back.
G B7
We could walk until the concrete ends,
Em C
Quit work until the money's all spent.
G B7 Em B7
But how long until we're walking back to the plasma clinic again?
G B7 Em C
The bosses we want off our backs are everywhere we can run,
G B7 Em B7
So if there's a way out if there's a way out if there's a way out then it's not on our own, 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.
