Chicago Is Burning |
| We throw our bodies on the fire and we die |
| Settle into ashes as the flames keep burning high |
| We tossed and spread the kerosene and alcohol |
| The ethylene ignited cardboard homes |
| The second in as many years |
| Street signs, skyscrapers and names |
| State street, what a great street |
| The places and the people stayed the same |
| Winter beats the summer on the worst ones |
| I fall in love again on the first ones |
| Carbon vapor lines burn as a grid |
| Like the burning summer evenings, like my fingertips did |
| Like the burning summer evenings, like my fingertips did |
| This town is choking on our filth, obstinate displays of wealth |
| Clog our Lincoln, Wicker, Rogers parks, here’s to your health |
| Chicago, fiddle as we burn |
| Nevermore, nevertheless, build it up and tear it down and never learn |
