Biography:
Firewater is a rock group founded by Tod A. in 1995. He describes them as a "wedding band gone wrong".
After Tod left his previous group, Cop Shoot Cop, he quickly regrouped and formed Firewater to explore the styles of music Cop Shoot Cop had only hinted at, including klezmer, cabaret, ska, jazz, and gypsy forms. More than one source described the original Firewater lineup as an "indie rock supergroup", based on members such as Duane Denison of the Jesus Lizard, Yuval Gabay of Soul Coughing, Jennifer Charles of Elysian Fields, and Hahn Rowe.

Bm Bm E E
Bm Bm D A
[Chorus]
E G D A
[Intro]
Bm Bm E E
(There might be an E7 thrown in there at the end of the measure)
[Verse 1]
Bm
Woke up at quarter to four
Bm
And I took my change off of the floor
E
Then I packed my suitcase with a brand new face
E
And threw myself out the door
Bm
......Too many dues to pay
Bm
And it was raining rusty nails on a sunny day
D
So I wrote a postcard to the wrecking yard
A
Sayin' "I won't be coming in today"
[Chorus]
E
I'm alright
G
Yeah, I'm okay
D
Well I rolled into town on a tumbleweed,
A
and I'll be blowing on the breeze tonight
Bm
Feeling no pain
[Verse 2]
Bm
No, I'll never be no billionaire
Bm
And you might not believe it, but I just don't care
E
I don't give a goddamn about the green I make
E
As long as nobody takes my cake
Bm
I get so god damn down sometimes
Bm
I like to roll down the windows and I take a drive
D
Feel the breeze with a bottle up between my knees
A
Til it gets tough to see the lines
[Chorus]
E
I'm alright
G
said, I'm okay
D
So get off my back with your heart attacks,
A
'cause there ain't an ambulance in sight
Bm
And I'm feeling no pain
[Verse 3]
Bm
I hate every cop in this town
Bm
.....Always throwing their weight around
E
Sometimes it's like I got a sign taped to my back
E
Saying "kick this poor boy around"
Bm
I live on beer and cigarettes
Bm
....It hasn't seemed to kill me yet
D
But when that moment comes I won't be afraid
A
Just one less clown in this parade
[Chorus]
E
I'm alright
G
Yeah, I'm okay
D
And I got my own personal philosophy
A
I won't mess with you if you don't mess with me
E
And I don't wanna fight,
G
I got nothing to gain
D
And I've been all over this whole world,
A
from the hurricane to the Tilt A Whirl
Bm
And I'm feeling no pain
Bm
Feeling no pain
Bm
I'm feeling no pain
