The Lyrics
There's a "For Sale" sign on a big old rusty tractor.
You can't miss it, it's the first thing that you see.
Just up the road, a gray - blue lake,
That smells like dead fish in the summer.
Hey there's a fallen in barn,
I know nobody will clean it up.
And this is my town.
(bleh,bleh,bleh,bleh,bleh)
Yeah, this is my town.
(bleh,bleh,bleh,bleh,bleh)
Hey!
Where I wasn't born, but I was raised.
Where I keep all my regretable memories
Where I ran off from 'cos its sucks so bad,
An' my old man likes it way too much.
Where I bought a plane ticket out of this hell,
It's the last place on earth they'll put me in the ground:
This is my town.
(bleh,bleh,bleh,bleh,bleh)
Yeah, this is my town.
(bleh,bleh,bleh,bleh,bleh)
My town.
There ain't much goin' on here for me to say.
But once in a while they'll try to rejuvinate it culturally.
A bunch of the town goes to potlock dinners.
I wonder if they knew what happened in New Sweden.
Come Sunday morning service, where I don't go,
Well there are plenty of seats around.
And this is my town.
(bleh,bleh,bleh,bleh,bleh)
Yeah, this is my town.
(bleh,bleh,bleh,bleh,bleh)
Hey!
Where I wasn't born, but I was raised.
Where I keep all my regretable memories
Where I ran off from 'cos its sucks so bad,
An' my old man likes it way too much.
Where I bought a plane ticket out of this hell,
It's the last place on earth they'll put me in the ground
Well, I bought and used the rusty tractor for parts.
Most of it's still sittin' right there in my yard.
The State came and said we can't swim in the lake,
And that's a dirty gray lake with a deformed fish-like monster.
See the people going to the Potlock Dinner.
And if I want a seat, I better leave right now.
And maybe later, I'll come back and buy,
My town.
(bleh,bleh,bleh,bleh,bleh)
Yeah, this is my town.
(bleh,bleh,bleh,bleh,bleh)
Hey!
Where I wasn't born, but I was raised.
Where I keep all my regretable memories
Where I ran off from 'cos its sucks so bad,
An' my old man likes it way too much.
Where I bought a plane ticket out of this hell,
It's the last place on earth they'll put me in the ground
Yeah, this is my town.
(bleh,bleh,bleh,bleh,bleh)
Yeah, this is my town.
(bleh,bleh,bleh,bleh,bleh)
My town.
