The Killing Chair
from American Ethos album by American Ethos
lyrics
you’ll never be what you want to be
when you sit in your electric chair
plug me in, turn me on, tune out
baby, I’m going nowhere
through long summers,
and cold winters
stay young,
stay dumb,
stay bitter
because your world is going to hell
will you run and hide?
or will you save yourself
oh you’ve been forgot?
well so fucking what
spinning wheels in the same ol’ ruts
only led us to kicking up dust
demand your money
demand your respect
it’s not the cards in your hands
it’s how you play the deck
don’t you know?
it’s the chair that kills you
when you sit in your electric chair
plug me in, turn me on, tune out
baby, I’m going nowhere
through long summers,
and cold winters
stay young,
stay dumb,
stay bitter
because your world is going to hell
will you run and hide?
or will you save yourself
oh you’ve been forgot?
well so fucking what
spinning wheels in the same ol’ ruts
only led us to kicking up dust
demand your money
demand your respect
it’s not the cards in your hands
it’s how you play the deck
don’t you know?
it’s the chair that kills you
