lyrics

Here in the town of opportunities
waiting for the money to trickle from the city
My hair is long, and my suit is all wrong, yeah I know it’s not pretty

here in the town of opportunities
Looking to the future, the age of computers,
A home from home,
at Job that works phones
For the man in the city
Growing up quickly.
Turning tricks in a game you can’t fix
For a boy who looks sickly

Here in the town of opportunities
Of milk and honey, and easy money
Make believe in this town you can’t leave
no it’s all or nothing
All for nothing
Dumbing down for the press to repress all the time

Here in the town of opportunities
Sad dust glories, and fairy stories
Satanic mills, like the ships we don’t build
They don’t sail us gently

Here in the town of opportunities
options shrinking, the ship is sinking
Jumping guns and Myxolydian runs
From the sense of violence
The sound of silence
Empires fail with a sting in the tail
And some drums
