Two Nickels Lyrics by Mischief Brew

This Is Not for Children

2015

I read a warning on the bus
Said "Turn it down and buckle up"
A penny saved
A dollar spent
So trim the wick and get to bed
Oil and kerosene
Stove will throw a little heat
The smell of propane in the halls
And scraping wax off floor and walls

And everybody on the block
Is talking about the weather, not the war
But will we crack when the houses all go black
And the radiators knock no more?

I said "Will we crack when the houses all go black
And the radiators not no more?"

I saw a story on the screen
Everybody in the street
Another early morning blaze
They got out, but not okay
Spread out to the kitchen floor
Just trying to keep warm
Mayor, landlord, tell them now
To bundle up and turn it down

And everybody on the block
Is talking about the weather, not the war
But will we crack when the houses all go black
And the radiators knock no more?

I said "Will we crack when the houses all go black
And the radiators not no more?"

One way or another
We're going south for the winter

One way or another
We're going south for the winter

One way or another
We're going south for the winter

One way or another
We're going south

One way or another
We're going south, south, south for the winter, the winter

So let's go
Let's go

Let's go

Let's go

Let's go

Let's go
