"Chicago Piano" lyrics - JAWBOX

Show me one good, paper guarantee.
Oh, my sweet promissory.
Stern old men,
Make a bed for me.
I'm more than ready.

One more confirmation of a new low,
But I'm wired shut;
Just say so.
Got word when the light passed through;
I'm more than ready.

To give it back.

Tight fist around a face out of history.
Don't think I don't know what's over me.
Over me with a numbing certainty.
I'm more than ready.

Duty bound to a guilt-fed guarantee.
Good faith in the narrow path laid for me.
Past time to declare sovereignty.
I'm more than ready.

To give it back.
