Blown up Towns
by Lee Paxton © 2004
If I could just write a song that would perfectly tell it how it is
I'd prolly be a millionaire and have a big house and several kids
You would hear me on your radio (baby!) and you would see me on your TV screen
but I'm telling you right now, that's really not what I want or need, it's just that
Everything keeps crashing down,
Everything keeps crashing down, and it’s tearing up the whole town
It's blowing up this whole town
My homeland doesn’t seem to want me no more
sometimes I wish I could sail away
to a mythical distant shore where people would appreciate what I say, but the small town is dying here,
no one has steady work for the poor
except for the government, as they send our boys off to their bull-crap war, and it's just...
Everything keeps on crashing down
Everything keeps crashing down,
and it's blowing up the whole town
(Everything keeps on crashing down!)
It’s blowing up my hometown
(Everything keeps crashing down!)
It's blowing up your hometown
(Everything! Ohh, Ohhhhh)
If I could just write a song that would perfectly tell it how it is....
