lyrics

It's a crypt no one's keen on keeping
Sister, don't let it drag you down
It's the same as any other town
It's got cars and bars and roofs and trains and rain

I wish it'd flood all the towering buildings
Send the castles all crumbling down
Wreck the gates in front of the mansions
So they'd go out and talk to their neighbors every once and a while

Once in a while, once in a while

It's a shell game rigged for the dealer
Brother, don't let it drag you down
It's the same in every single town
From oily rag to noxious blood-red flag

And if you don't lose like they mean you to
Offer up your wallet, every dime left to your name
The sheriff will be comin after you
Squealing, state-sponsored gang-banger clad in blue

All clad in blue, all clad in blue

So lather that metal up in kerosine
Light the match and sit back and watch the squad car gleam
Every neighbor and sister and lover in cuffs
Is just another reason to burn down the regime

Come on, brother, let the good times roll
Raise your flag and sit back and watch the bulldozers
Crack and crawl through the penitentiary walls
Bring the age of steel bars to a grinding halt

A grinding halt, a screeching stop
A grinding halt, a screeching stop
