Welcome To Struggleville lyrics
Song information
Artist: Edwin Mccain
Album: Lost In America
Lyrics
I stole down to the waterfront
To escape the desert heat
What on earth you gotta do around here
To try and get yourself a drink
Heard john the baptist preaching
Said: "make way for the king
But if you wanna recognize him
You gotta tell me all your sins"
They are building a new gallows
For when you show up on the street
Polishing the electric chair
They're gonna give you a front row seat
Heard a sneer outside the garden;
Salutation so well-heeled:
"Welcome all you suckers to struggleville" x2
I've been trying to negotiate peace
With my own existence
She's gotta stockpile full of weaponry;
She breaking every cease-fire agreement
Whole thing is full of decay
As sure as I'm made of dust
And into rust I know the beast is falling
They are building a new gallows
When you show up on the street
Polishing the electric chair
They're gonna give you a front row seat
Heard a sneer outside the garden;
Salutation so well-heeled:
"Final stop! no points beyond struggleville
"Welcome all you suckers to struggleville"
