Chicago Piano Lyrics
by Jawbox
Show me one good paper guarantee
Oh my sweet promissory
Stern old men make a bed for me
I’m more than ready
One more confirmation
Of a new low.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e41513-jawbox~chicago_piano_lyrics.html ]
But I’m wired shut
Just say so
Got word when the light passed through
I’m more than ready to give it back
To give it back
Tight fist around a face out of history
Don’t think I don’t know what’s over me
Over me
With a numbing certainty
I’m more than ready
Duty bound
With a guilt-fed guarantee
Good faith
In the narrow path laid for me
Past time to declare sovereignty
I’m more than ready to give it back
To give it back
