Boomtown - D.O.A.

Boomtown, boomtown

Boomtown, boomtown

It’s hard to say how it got this way

What I wanna know, when does it end?

Well, they squeeze you dry, then they let you die

And then just throw ya away

Well, the jobs were there, but they ain’t no more

Now you’re starin' at a closed factory door

And the banker, he don’t give a damn

He’d walk right over a dyin' man

Boomtown

Well, they set you up just to knock ya down

Boomtown

Well, you’re gonna get turned upside down

It comes an' goes, ya never know

When it’s your turn for desolation row

Got no time to think when you’re feelin' sore

An' the grass ain’t green anymore

A revolvin' door that you’re bound to meet

Shovin' people right out in the street

To a nightmare that keeps comin' round

Just hold on an' try not to drown

Boomtown

Well, they set you up just to smash you down

Boomtown

Well, you’re gonna get, you’ll get mowed down

Boomtown

Well, ya gotta smile, gotta smile

Yeah better not frown

Boomtown

Keep it to yourself, shut your mouth

Yeah, shut up an' sit down

Even if you try you’re gonna cry

'Cause yo won’t make ends meet

'Cause the boomtown will let you down

It never comes through with the goods

It’s a boomtown

Well, they set you up just to cut ya down

Boomtown

Well, you’re gonna get gonna get turned upside down

Boomtown

Ya gotta smile gotta smile

Better not frown

Boomtown

Keep it to yourself shut your mouth

Shut up and sit down
