Dead Milkmen - City Of Mud lyrics

rate me

Built ourselves a city

And we made it out of mud

We dried it off this morning

Out there in the desert sun

And we never do no working

Just sit and watch TV

Well, I finally found a city

Full of people just like me

Well we're gonna drag Bruce Springsteen

By his axe through our streets

By the time we're done The Boss

Will look like a side of beef

We've got plans for other wankers

Who might come through our town

Y'know we're going to rid the world

Of those Top-40 clowns

Then we're going to buy some bombs

Just like the big boys have

So don't call us losers

Or you might just make us mad!

Built ourselves a city

And we propped it up with wood

We were drunk when we made it

Hell! We did the best we could

And still we don't do no working

Just sit and watch TV

Well, I finally found a city

Full of people just like me

Someone tried to build a health spa

But we quickly burned it down

'Cause we don't want any healthy people

Ruining our town

Y'know, we used to have a K-Mart

We burnt that sucker too

'Cause they wouldn't let you in

Without a shirt or shoes

And we never paved the roads

We just bought VCR's

When you got good movies

Hell, you don't need any cars

Built ourselves a city

And we call it WiseGuyVille

And we made a few mistakes

Like putting children on the pill

And we never do no working

'Cause we got cable TV

Hell, I finally found a city

Full of people just like me

Someday we'll have a new land

From sea to shining sea

Someday we'll have a country

Full of people just like me
