1871 was the year underneath an October sky
|
When a windy city man had set out with a plan to set a fire but nobody knows why
|
So Pegleg headed out back with a match and a bucket of kerosene
|
Little did he know that the wind would blow through the streets with anarchy
|
|
Pegleg didn't have an alibi
|
He didn't have a story to tell
|
But he bought his one way ticket straight to hell
|
Cuz he burned the whole damn city
|
Watched it all go down
|
Yeah he burned all of Chicago to the ground
|
yeah he burned that beautiful city
|
He torched that beautiful town
|
Yeah he burned all of Chicago to the ground
|
|
Flames spread fast every night
|
While they passed through the alleys and the dead end streets
|
From suburban doors to the lakefront shore demolishing everything
|
And pegleg never got blamed for the mess made
|
Said he never broke the law
|
But all that remained was the charred black stains
|
Proving every things his fault
|
|
Pegleg didn't have an alibi
|
He didn't have a story to tell
|
But he bought his one way ticket straight to hell
|
Cuz he burned the whole damn city
|
Watched it all go down
|
Yeah he burned all of Chicago to the ground
|
yeah he burned that beautiful city
|
He torched that beautiful town
|
Yeah he burned all of Chicago to the ground
|
|
Of all the books printed on history
|
None raised the flag on one mans legacy
|
Now everybody knows the truth of the stories being exposed
|
So Pegleg's going down in infamy.
|
|
Cuz he burned the whole damn city
|
Watched it all go down
|
Yeah he burned all of Chicago to the ground
|
yeah he burned that beautiful city
|
He torched that beautiful town
|
Yeah he burned all of Chicago to the ground
|
