Playing With Fire

Country Joe McDonald

Dynamite Charlie was a loser

Building bombs in his flat

Filled up his head with too many words

You know where that's at.

One day while he was working

He made a bad mistake.



He was playing with fire

Playing with fire, yeah,

Playing with fire

But it was too late.



Said he was playing with fire

Playing with fire

Playing with fire

But it was too late.



Double Head Danny was a heavy

He would try anything.

He thought he would take

A good look at himself

Dropping some L.S.D.

When the doors were open

He knew he made a mistake.

Acid Mary was a dealer,

She had a mission in life.

Soon as everybody was turned on

Everything would be alright.

When she sold speed to a narc girl,

She made a bad mistake.
