All Over Town

heard it in the morning
on every corner on every street
screaming from the radio
shouting out from the broadsheets
the tv sacharine smiles
the traffic jam sneers
the wrecking ball of hope
the shopping mall of fears
you can hid out in your alleyway
crawl back beneath your stone
it's all over town
it just ain't hit home
you can sing all that you want to
of your reds your whites and blues
give a thumbs up to the cameras
as you wipe the shit off of your shoes
shake hands with your buddies
you're shaking your dick at the rest
but that's a siren in the distance
this is not a test
there's blood hounds in the back yards
and they're digging up bones
it's all over town
it just ain't hit home
now aren't you the same one
who brings me famine
brings me war
burns the minds of my children
treats the rest of us like whores
you think you own the forests
you think you own the sea
think you own the air
motherfucker you don't own me
you're out there playing cowboy
there's no more plains to roam
it''s all over town
it just ain't it home.
