Whirlwind - Rancid

Every cities got an artery where the blind

Breaks down an avenue or a boulevard

And a boy who wears a crown

Indignant life styles implies simply lack of means

Dognatical authoritarians dictate the cities remain

(Chorus)

A promise to go to heaven won’t put salvation in sight

Whirlwind is coming

A promise to go to heaven won’t put salvation in sight

Whirlwind is comin' down on me

When the factory shut down so did the place he lived

Blood money for junk bonds by a white collar fugitive

All the tax free incentives ain’t goin' to help him now

Generations of job security gone out like the horse and plow

My old man worked his troubled life in a nowhere dead end

He drank the pain away

I’ll be damned if that’s me having my dreams robbed

The working class crries a country that has been rotting inside for years

The rigs cuffed my old man in the front yard

I saw through my eyes of tears
