Down on free street 
Buried six feet down 
In a one horse 
Carefully locked door town 
Where no one ever comes around 
There ain't nothing there to be found 

An eye for an eye 
Pound for pound 
Blown up yet minimal 
Built up by criminal hands 
To the republic, it's sick 
For which it stands 

There's a man on desolation row 
Reaping fruits that someone else has sown 
And a prime time appearance 
On a television show 
You know the sheep are ridden with disease 
And I'm down on bending knees 

The tumor's spreading oh so fast 
The remedy will never last 
The die's been cast 
And the deadline's past 
There's a crying beholder 
But no one told her why 

Just wrapped up in plastic 
Conveniently elastic lies 
I got my radio on 
It's playing that same old stupid song 
Over and over for much too long 
I've got to turn that damn thing down
