[Intro]
Am G F E x 4
[Verse]
Am F
Down in a village where most residents were poor
C E
An old man had a factory that folks called "The Killing Floor"
Am F
He was a surly master and though his workers all had wives
C E
He'd work them within inches of their lives!
[Pre-Chorus]
F Am
They all were sick and tired of this stuff
F E
The men decided that they'd had enough
[Chorus]
Am G F E
We won't take this anymore!
Am G F E
Not gonna die on The Killing Floor
Am G F E
He won't work us into the ground
F E
It's time to strike a match and burn it down...
[Instrumental]
Am G F E x 4
[Verse]
Am F
They waited for the old man to head home for the night
C E
Then muscled in with kerosene and lanterns to ignite
Am F
They took one final look at all these monsterous machines
C E
Then lit the match that would fulfill their dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
F Am
It was a blazing jubilee
F E
They felt these flames had set these workers free
[Chorus]
Am G F E
We won't take this anymore!
Am G F E
Not gonna die on The Killing Floor
Am G F E
He won't work us into the ground
F E
It's time to strike a match and burn it down...

[Verse]
Am F
As the workers danced around the fire having fun
C E
The old man pulled up terrified and screamed "What have you done?!"
Am F
"This factory was the only thing that kept us all alive!
C E
Now you've gone and blown us all sky high!"
[Pre-Chorus]
F Am
The factory was above an oil lake
F E
But all too late they realized their mistake
[Chorus]
Am G F E
We wouldn't take it anymore!
Am G F E
Didn't wanna die on The Killing Floor
Am G F E
But we drove ourselves to the ground
F E Am G F E x 3
When we struck that match and burned it down...
Am G F E Am
Why'd we have to go and burn it down?!
