Bottle Rockets - Kerosene


G                                 C
You ever see that damn thing that burned out shell
Em                                        C          
For a little while that trailer must have seemed like hell
   G                       C           Em                     C
If kerosene works why not gasoline, if kerosene works why not gasoline


The kids wore rags and never worked too much

Who's a judge to decide how much this world should punish

If kerosene works why not gasoline, if kerosene works why not gasoline


Now the welfare check won't pay for the electricity

Wonder who the jury was who decided they were all guilty

If kerosene works why not gasoline, if kerosene works why not gasoline


Fire started about 3 AM you know none of them would survive

They hated that god damn trailer so it burnt them up alive

If kerosene works why not gasoline, if kerosene works why not gasoline


Now it's a pure perfect world see it tells no lies

It'll burn you down if you try to improvise

If kerosene works why not gasoline, if kerosene works why not gasoline

If kerosene works why not gasoline, if kerosene works why not gasoline
