Chip Away Lyrics by Duff McKagan

Tenderness

2019

[Verse 1]
Talking heads are making dollars
It's like doing crack day after day
Dropping taxes on business ballers
It’ll work this time, they say
Gotta rise up, gotta keep fighting
You know we've seen this all before
This too shall stop if we keep our heads on
It'll work this time, they say
[Chorus]
Chip away, chip away, I’m withdrawing
Chip away, gonna pray for something new
Chip away, chip away, can you hear me calling?
Gonna wait 'til this is through
[Verse 2]
Oh, history has had some great men
Some badass motherfuckers who didn't give a shit
FDR would laugh, Martin Luther holler
Oh, they would put an end to this
[Chorus]
Chip away, chip away, I'm withdrawing
Chip away, gonna pray for something new
Chip away, chip away, can you hear me calling?
Gonna wait 'til this is through
[Verse 3]
I hear it often nowadays, the Earth is flat, or so they say
And living beings came to be all of a sudden one day
And that white is right and the rest is wrong
I'll scratch on that and keep moving on
This'll pass this time, just wait
[Chorus]
Chip away, chip away, I'm withdrawing
Chip away, gonna pray for something new
Chip away, chip away, can you hear me calling?
Gonna wait ’til this is through
Chip away, chip away, I’m withdrawing
Chip away, gonna pray for something new
Chip away, chip away, can you hear me calling?
Gonna wait 'til this is through
And I hope you won’t get fooled
