Verse:

A minorAm              FF
Down in a village where most residents were poor
  C majorC                E MajorE
An old man had a factory that folks called "The Killing Floor"
  A minorAm                FF
He was a surly master and though his workers all had wives
   C majorC                E MajorE
He'd work them within inches of their lives!

Pre-Chorus:

   FF                A minorAm
They all were sick and tired of this stuff
  FF              E MajorE
The men decided that they'd had enough

A minorAm    G+G     FF E MajorE
We won't take this anymore!
A minorAm    G+G     FF    E MajorE
Not gonna die on The Killing Floor
A minorAm    G+G    FF    E MajorE
He won't work us into the ground
   FF        E MajorE
It's time to strike a match and burn it down...

   C majorC              E MajorE
Then muscled in with kerosene and lanterns to ignite
   A minorAm                FF
They took one final look at all these monsterous machines
   C majorC                   E MajorE
Then lit the match that would fulfill their dreams

Pre-Chorus:

FF          A minorAm
It was a blazing jubilee
   FF                    E MajorE
They felt these flames had set these workers free

Chorus:

A minorAm    G+G     FF E MajorE
We won't take this anymore!
A minorAm    G+G     FF    E MajorE
Not gonna die on The Killing Floor
A minorAm    G+G    FF    E MajorE
He won't work us into the ground
   FF        E MajorE
It's time to strike a match and burn it down...

Verse:

A minorAm                FF
As the workers danced around the fire having fun
  C majorC                E MajorE
The old man pulled up terrified and screamed "What have you done?!"
   A minorAm               FF
"This factory was the only thing that kept us all alive!
C majorC                  E MajorE
Now you've gone and blown us all sky high!"

Pre-Chorus:

FF              A minorAm
The factory was above an oil lake
  FF                  E MajorE
But all too late they realized their mistake

Chorus:

A minorAm     G+G    FF E MajorE
We wouldn't take it anymore!
A minorAm      G+G     FF    E MajorE
Didn't wanna die on The Killing Floor
A minorAm   G+G    FF       E MajorE
But we drove ourselves to the ground
FF          E MajorE              A minorAm G+G FF E MajorE x 3
When we struck that match and burned it down...
A minorAm    G+G    FF   E MajorE    A minorAm
Why'd we have to go and burn it down?!
