[Verse 1]
The pig's spitting taxes and unwanted tasks

[Bridge]
We say: "Send me to the battle, please sir!"
"Send me to the battle, please sir!"

[Verse 2]
Chicago is dancing in xylophone laughter

[Pre-Chorus]
They say: "Burn this, burn this, burn this fucker down, down, down
Burn this motherfucker down"

[Chorus]
But would you please, please speak up
I can't hear with these clouds in my ears
The system’s down, I doubt we'll get through
Send the money for

[Verse 3]
The horse has been taken, runs clubs in the pasture

[Pre-Chorus]
We say: "Burn this, burn this, burn this fucker down, down, down
Burn this motherfucker down"
[Chorus 2]
But would you please, please speak up
I can't hear with these clouds in my ears
They're singing
They're singing
They're singing

[Outro]
The system’s down, I doubt we'll get through
Send the money for the caterpillars to entertain
The system’s down, I doubt we'll get through
Send the money for the caterpillars to entertain
The system’s down, I doubt we'll get through
Send the money for the caterpillars to entertain
The system’s down, I doubt we'll get through
Send the money for the caterpillars to entertain
The system’s down, I doubt we'll get through
Send the money for the caterpillars to entertain
The system’s down, I doubt we'll get through
Send the money for the caterpillars to entertain
