hometown Lyrics

It's a shame to call this goddamn place a hometown

Just take a look around

At empty faces

Stay and change the bases all around

I can't sleep sound

This dirt it chases me

These people make their own rules

Oh, you sick fools

Now can't you me

March forth and lay your body down

Do you hear the sacred sound

Of motor gasoline

Inhale my poison fumes

Won't never lay your soul to rest

You are my little pawn in chess

You'll move wherever

Wherever I tell you to

Mercury flows right down to Lake Erie

That poison fury

What once was glory

Pigment factory fumes encapsulate us

Intoxicate us

Kill the cicadas

Where, oh god, where is the Rust Belt

Oh, do you think

Maybe it misses me

March forth and lay your body down

Do you hear the sacred sound

Of motor gasoline

Inhale my poison fumes

Won't never lay your soul to rest

You are my little pawn in chess

You'll move wherever

Wherever I tell you to

Wherever I tell you to
