Fire Weather

from That's Rough by Michael Howard

lyrics

Bm E
There's been an accident Or maybe a mistake
A F#m A F#m A
I could have sworn I unsubscribed From reincarnating in 88

Bm E
Last thing I remember I was waiting in the lobby
A F#m A
And I'd been there for a while At a desk the size of Iowa
F#m A F#m A
No faces had a smile on, But at least they had snacks

And the lines were growing longer And the lights were all fluorescent
And the lines were growing longer And the lights were all leds
May the glare never cease to be Still kind of seems like a waste to me

The news up on the TV Was listing all the reasons
That we should keep on eating To ignore the fear the food is feeding
And guiding all the convos That the anchors were retweeting
And the policies were awful but It's easier to listen
To ideas that aren't worth reading While the tornadoes were increasing
Did we only start to notice?
It's looking like…

A. E. D
Fire weather. Relax, the end is near
We've got temporary problems, Growing shorter every year

E
So Saddle up and fight it if you want to
A
Come up with a comeback if you want to
D. F#m
Hold a Picket sign, and tell your friends and
E. - a
family they're probably (on a spectrum) autistic if you want to

Order one more round if you want to
Burn down another target if you want to
Plant some fucking (little) trees, or cure a rare disease, or go adopt an orphan if you want to

Spray glyphosate on bees if you want to
Add z’s to lgbt’s if you want to (meditate in jeans)
Go and seek your peace in a tax exempt church, or just roll in the dirt if you want to


E
God is user friendly and she's got you
A
Meet us in the lobby when you're done
D. F#m
And get back in the line behind a desk the
E
size of Iowa
E
And we'll watch the big red ending of the sun
F#m. A. D.
Explode into the way this thing begun
