[Verse 1]
Talking Bheads are making Edollars
It's like doing Bcrack day after Eday
Dropping Btaxes on business Eballers
It'll work Athis Btime, they saEy
Gotta rise Bup, gotta keep Efighting
You Bknow we've seen this all beforeE  
This too shall Bstop if we keep our Eheads on
It'll work Athis time, Bthey sayE  
[Chorus]
Chip away, chip aAway, EI'm withBdrawing
Chip away, gonna AprayE, for something Bnew
Chip away, chip aAway, Ecan you hear me Bcalling?
Gonna Await 'til Bthis is Ethrough
[Verse 2]
Oh, histoBry has had some Egreat men
Some Bbadass motherfuckers who didn't give a shiEt
FDR would Blaugh, Martin Luther Eholler
Oh theyA, would put an end Bto thisE  
[Chorus]
Chip away, chip aAway, EI'm withBdrawing

I Bhear it often nowadays, the EEarth is flat, or so they say
And living Bbeings came to be all of a sudden one Eday
And that Bwhite is right and the rest is wrong
I'll Escratch on that and keep moving on
This'll Apass this Btime, just Ewait
[Chorus]
Chip away, chip aAway, EI'm withBdrawing
Chip away, gonna AprayE, for something Bnew
Chip away, chip aAway, Ecan you hear me Bcalling?
Gonna Await 'til Bthis is Etrue
Chip away, chip aAway, EI'm withBdrawing
Chip away, gonna AprayE, for something Bnew
Chip away, chip aAway, Ecan you hear me Bcalling?
Gonna Await 'til Bthis is Ethrough
And I Ahope you wBon't get Efooled
