this old town

take a deep breath
drink a glass of water
and tell me where you were
when it all went down
it's lucky you're alive
they'd kill you for a quarter
they're making a mockery
out of this old town

used to be back when
everything was hunky dory
you got what you needed
through sweat and hard work
now it's completely
an entirely different story
the rich get richer
and the poor get hurt
