The Legend Of Pegleg Sullivan |
| 1871 was the year underneath an October sky |
| When a windy city man had set out with a plan to set a fire but nobody knows why |
| So Pegleg headed out back with a match and a bucket of kerosene |
| Little did he know that the wind would blow through the streets with anarchy |
| Pegleg didn’t have an alibi |
| He didn’t have a story to tell |
| But he bought his one way ticket straight to hell |
| Cuz he burned the whole damn city |
| Watched it all go down |
| Yeah he burned all of Chicago to the ground |
| Yeah he burned that beautiful city |
| He torched that beautiful town |
| Yeah he burned all of Chicago to the ground |
| Flames spread fast every night |
| While they passed through the alleys and the dead end streets |
| From suburban doors to the lakefront shore demolishing everything |
| And pegleg never got blamed for the mess made |
| Said he never broke the law |
| But all that remained was the charred black stains |
| Proving every things his fault |
| Pegleg didn’t have an alibi |
| He didn’t have a story to tell |
| But he bought his one way ticket straight to hell |
| Cuz he burned the whole damn city |
| Watched it all go down |
| Yeah he burned all of Chicago to the ground |
| Yeah he burned that beautiful city |
| He torched that beautiful town |
| Yeah he burned all of Chicago to the ground |
| Of all the books printed on his terrain |
| None raised the flag on one mans legacy |
| Now everybody knows the truth of the stories being exposed |
| So Pegleg’s going down in infamy |
| Cuz he burned the whole damn city |
| Watched it all go down |
| Yeah he burned all of Chicago to the ground |
| Yeah he burned that beautiful city |
| He torched that beautiful town |
| Yeah he burned all of Chicago to the ground |
