lyrics
This tattered town is getting old
Deserted streets dark and cold
The 55 that took me home
To a town that’s now long gone
Market halls now dust and stone
The playgrounds are all overgrown
The grocer man is on the dole
But on we hunt all Wal-Mart long
Lives eroded throw your stones
Bricks and bottles defend your own
No more bombs now you atone
For a flag that’s almost gone
Recession just makes white men fatter
Our lives they are not getting better
The banks now they commit the crime
But none of them are doing time
No more bombs now you atone
For a flag that’s almost
Gone
Deserted streets dark and cold
The 55 that took me home
To a town that’s now long gone
Market halls now dust and stone
The playgrounds are all overgrown
The grocer man is on the dole
But on we hunt all Wal-Mart long
Lives eroded throw your stones
Bricks and bottles defend your own
No more bombs now you atone
For a flag that’s almost gone
Recession just makes white men fatter
Our lives they are not getting better
The banks now they commit the crime
But none of them are doing time
No more bombs now you atone
For a flag that’s almost
Gone
