Nows the time your visions and your shreds Turned out to be the cheap imported threads The flag reeled out in a cotton kite Flying miles above the wheatland in a single stripe The revolution came the Revolution went The chemical rain left the message on the tent Wanted: one man to lead the crusade Payment: a bullet on a big parade Down in Gangsterville Where any sane people already crawled under the house Yeah Gangsterville - the television is always thinking about Real people - especially when its hungry And inplemented by the shadow of a glove And sitting in a coffee house reading words We got popcorn salesmen for protection from the world Went through extensive preparations I learned all about the other nations When freedom was defined as a word in a book I learned if you're plugged into something then baby you're hooked Into Gangsterville I searched for a rose or some sweet juice of water Gangsterville - people are giving A black lady sobbed on a step - God bless the little born On the other hand sitting next to the evil crew They just got down from floor eighty - two Been selling Indian reservations Coming in looking for some jazz and a little libations I like the same kind of beer I gotta get right out of here I'm going to New Orleans - gonna buy me a prayer Gonna call somebody form a call box there Hello this is Gangsterville Bring your money to the shore No automatic weapons on the jetty Oh Gangsterville - electro shields on the phalanx Club the Mayor in the streets - its chewable fecie My kind, we are the worst kind Got enough shrinks working on us To defy paralysis Identify analysis Just wanna hold my carburettor bible Snapping to attention - eyes on the horizon Keep your filter clean - wipe the oil from your dreams Keep your hopes pinned on the Southern Cross You got to believe in something or you feel a sense of loss Down in Gangsterville Pelicans dying strangling on a six can strap Gangsterville shut off all power burn out all gasoline Stop writting things on screens
