Working man's day wage, just piss it away
Am Em Dm
Leaves it out in the weather
Am Em Dm
Failure, he said, times two breeds contempt
Am Em Dm
Wash your hands of it forever
Am Em Dm
Violence it ripped through the old dogwood fence
Am Em Dm
See the hope, see it unravel
Am Em Dm
Drunk brother said he could reason with them
C Em Dm
While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lied
C Em Dm
While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lied
Am Em Dm
The picture was left on the front porch, the back said
Am Em Dm
"I love you, don't you ever think of me?"
Am Em Dm
If my body goes, then to hell with my soul
Am Em Dm
We don't even know the difference
Am Em Dm
The dead folks in the clouds, for crying out loud
C Em Dm
While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lied
C Em Dm
While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lied
G Dm
And why, did we live so long
C Em Dm
So long
C Em Dm
So long

Am Em Dm
Our parents had cigarettes, wedding bands
C Em Dm
While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lied
C Em Dm
While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lied
G Dm
And why, did we live so long
C Em Dm
So long
C Em Dm
So long
