Firing Squad
They say that Tokyo's the new Motor City
They're digging up Henry Ford
When the salt mines finally cave in
There ain't gonna be no Detroit anymore
And the Mississippi don't lead nowhere
You can forget about New Orleans
This water ain't fit to put out a fire
I would rather drink a bottle of gasoline
Robert Moses is ripping up the Bronx again
I never seen a scar so deep
But it's just another blackout for New York City
This town can't get to sleep
So I'm turning in my badge tomorrow
I'm gonna get out if I gotta crawl
I'm gonna leave the keys in the ignition
I'm gonna let the engine stall
I'm giving up on the firing squad
Yes, I'm giving up on the firing squad
(Giving up)
I musta been crazy to take this job
I'm giving up on the fire in squad
You can't shake the shiver out of your money
You can't get sugar in a time of war
When the Pennsylvania coal fire's burning out
And the world's turning cool at the core
When the wirewalkers and assassins
Are the only ones that risk a fall
You gotta take it to the wire man
Well, you let the engine stall
I'm giving up on the firing squad
Yes, I'm giving up on the firing squad
(Giving up)
I'm getting out, I swear to god
But I musta been crazy
I'm giving up on the firing squad
Yes, I'm giving up on the firing squad
(giving up)
I musta been crazy to take this job
I'm giving up on the fire in squad
I'm giving up
They're digging up Henry Ford
When the salt mines finally cave in
There ain't gonna be no Detroit anymore
And the Mississippi don't lead nowhere
You can forget about New Orleans
This water ain't fit to put out a fire
I would rather drink a bottle of gasoline
Robert Moses is ripping up the Bronx again
I never seen a scar so deep
But it's just another blackout for New York City
This town can't get to sleep
So I'm turning in my badge tomorrow
I'm gonna get out if I gotta crawl
I'm gonna leave the keys in the ignition
I'm gonna let the engine stall
I'm giving up on the firing squad
Yes, I'm giving up on the firing squad
(Giving up)
I musta been crazy to take this job
I'm giving up on the fire in squad
You can't shake the shiver out of your money
You can't get sugar in a time of war
When the Pennsylvania coal fire's burning out
And the world's turning cool at the core
When the wirewalkers and assassins
Are the only ones that risk a fall
You gotta take it to the wire man
Well, you let the engine stall
I'm giving up on the firing squad
Yes, I'm giving up on the firing squad
(Giving up)
I'm getting out, I swear to god
But I musta been crazy
I'm giving up on the firing squad
Yes, I'm giving up on the firing squad
(giving up)
I musta been crazy to take this job
I'm giving up on the fire in squad
I'm giving up
