Chili Dogs and Rum
Pigfarmer Jr

She worked two jobs for years and years and years
All the while she was barely getting' by
She's finally old enough for the social security check
Maybe now she won't stay up to cry

She lives on chili dogs and rum
She hates what she's become
Can't drown the dreams no matter how she tries
Been working since she was young
Now she's ready for what's to come
With nothing left to do but wait and die

Her husband died so many years ago
Left her with a child to raise alone
She gave him all she had and sometimes he still calls
And maybe he will visit when she's gone

She lives on chili dogs and rum
She hates what she's become
Can't drown the dreams no matter how she tries
Been working since she was young
Now she's ready for what's to come
With nothing left to do but wait and die

If I asked her what she was dreaming of
I wonder what she'd say
Would she smile or would she push me away?
I don't know how she finds the strength
To go on every day

She lives on chili dogs and rum
She hates what she's become
Can't drown the dreams no matter how she tries
Been working since she was young
Now she's ready for what's to come
With nothing left to do but wait and die
With nothing left to do but wait and die

Chili Dogs and Rum
The Mellfire Trifecta

I can wear a funny hat
And serve you nothing but junk
I can take away your right
To know what products have shrunk
There’s nothing that can stop me
From appreciable gains
As you scramble round the aisles
Seeking someone to blame

At least you know there’s options
At all of these shops
And that somewhere in the rows
A set of prices was chopped
You can tell your wife and children
Grocery bills are a steal
As you gather up a motley crew
That don’t form a meal

Celebrate the dawning of the frosted age
Turn the page, it’s all the rage
Chili dogs and rum for all eternity
Raise your glasses
But check your BP (regularly)
