Lyrics:
We're lighting up our cigarettes
Three smokes on every match
Tempting fate and bad luck
We're impossible to catch
Sell a grain of truth
In a sandbag full of lies
Nobody weighs it anyway
When it's all they want to buy
I've seen men go down for less
They don't come back from these trenches
Both sides have fought all day
Now we're clearing out the benches
The enemy has Zippos
They don't need your matches anymore
& we're standing on the precipice
Between fragile peace and certain war
II:
I hate the weight of my gun
To have to wear it don't seem fair
I'd like to melt it down
Into a shiny new plowshare
But this soil ain't fit for tilling
& the water ain't fit to drink
I'm trying to be a good soldier
But I've been pushed past the brink
In three days we'll be evicted
God knows where we'll go
I gotta get some money
& the legal way is too slow
I don't want to be this desperate
I don't want to rob this store
I'm standing on the precipice
Of fragile peace and certain war
Bridge:
I long to live in peace
That's so much more than lack of violence
But right now we see injustice
And our collective response is silence
We have to lift each other up
Or lay scattered on the floor
We're all struggling on the precipice
Of fragile peace and certain war
III:
Funny there's no money
When poor kids need some food
We'll subsidize the richest man
To drown in cheaper crude
Jamie's off to college
Jaime's bound for jail
You say that's the price for freedom
I say freedom's not for sale
Charlatans and preachers
Recruiting day & night
It's just as well, it's hard to tell
Who's really on your side
The rich don't have the answers,
Neither do the poor
We're all standing on the precipice
Of fragile peace
...and certain war

I had never heard of Carolyn Wonderland until I was down in Mexico this February and the house next door was playing her music. So I shazamed who was playing and then downloaded her music. She is so amazing it's hard to believe she isn't as well known as Bonnie Raitt. She's got an amazing voice and her songs are great.
Hell yes. Can't get enough of Carolyn's superb slide 'n' steel!

Wonderful! Came here on Dave Alvin's FB post of recommendation. Well worth it!
Love this Carolyn! You continue to blow me away with your guitar skills, vocals, lyrics, and energy- you are on 🔥! Love you!! Xoxo
Great song & equally great video (directed by Curtis Pollock) from Carolyn’s latest release, “Tempting Fate.” It doesn’t get much better than this! (& Shelley King makes a very cool judge!)
Killer song from a great record! Carolyn's vocals and playing are 🔥🔥 and the band is cookin' too! Timely lyrics and a fine video too!
Well...DAMN! Those middle fingers, sealed it for ME! Perfect visual accompaniment to a great song!
Saw you at the 443 Club in Syracuse, NY last night. Sat right up front. Just wow.
boy howdy i'm addicted and it ain't a bad thing
Nice stuff, Carolyn! Rock on....
Fantastic!
Great Song !
Oh wow, nice to see a real musician. It’s been a min
This is just awesome! 👌🏼

First time listening to Carolyn and her group! Excellent all around!!
Good!
Carolyn is such a bad ass.
Love your voice. Sing it soulful woman.
Got here from the Anderton's interview Carolyn just did...holy smokes, where have you been all my life???
Gota love ya Girl, the double bird clasic
You have the Larkin Poe lap steel sound going on here. It's excellent! 👍👍👍👍👍
Carolyn was around a lot longer then the Larkin Poe baby’s!!!!!They were in diapers when she started….
Preach it sister. -we have to lift each other up. 😪
HOT damn, she's good!
Jammin' tune! Heard this on Siriusxm...Outlaw Country
WOW! Just listened to you for the first time. :)
Es la cosa!
Love you lady!!
Love seeing producer Dave Alvin cameo on this video
Is that Dave Alvin with the National ??? Great playing all around.
Yes! That’s the amazing Dave Alvin as my guitar wielding lawyer! (He produced our Tempting Fate album and was kind enough to do this with us, too!)

It's weird how frequently cigarettes keep popping up in videos lately. Don't do it, kids. It ain't cool. It's deadly.
While I can appreciate your concern, perhaps you missed the lyrics and that’s okay, too. There’s a reason lighting 3 smokes on a match is bad luck, going back to trench warfare in WWI. I don’t recommend that, either, but it does play into the story at hand. Thank you for taking a chance on us. Sorry if my song bothered you that much. Hope you find a nice, sanitized-for-your-protection jam that better suits your taste.
