No Man's Land

Lyrics

In a town without a name
 there is no shame
 no blame to claim
 one fine day the pilgrims came
 and made new rules for an old game
 And I'm waiting for the garbage man To take you away
 And I'm searching for my playground
 So I can go and play
 So they built a big smoke stack
 Built a railroad track
 They made the dirt roads black
 And they did it behind your back
 And now you pay their tax
 hoping something cracks
 And I'm waiting for the garbage man
 To take you away
 And I'm searching for my playground
 So I can go and play
 From out of the dust came corrosion and rust
 That made you look so cheap
 There's nothing to have here
 And nothing to hold here
 And nothing that you can keep
 Now understand this is no man's land
 And its all that's left that's free
 Where the kings of nothing rule my friend
 And you can't make me leave
 There's a billboard in the sky
 Reflecting water in your eyes
 This big city, this ghost town
 Will come crawling to the ground
 And I'm waiting for the hurricane To blow you away
 And I'm searching for my twister
 to twist you into shape
 Now my speach is said and done
 The circus came, I had my fun
 And the wasteland has been won
 And the building has begun
 And I'm waiting for the earthquake To shake you down
 And I see my mother nature Trying to drag you around
 From out of the dust came
 Corrosion and rust
 That made you look so cheap
 There's nothing to have here
 And nothing to hold here
 And nothing that you can keep
 Now understand this is no man's land
 And its all that's left that's free
 Where the kings of nothing rule my friend
 (Then you can't make believe?)
