company town from company town by painted saints

company town

they’ll kick you in the balls
when you’re two feet tall
and theres gnashing of teeth
when you’re down on your knees
and they’ll turn all the screws of those who refuse
and they won’t give in until you’re nothing at all

and the rain comes down
in this god damned company town
and i need to find some sleep for tonight
and it hurts like hell
and you never really can tell
what’s once been said and what’s never been done

and they’re spreading the disease
take it straight to the heart
and they’ll drive in the nails
until you can’t move an inch
paint truth on cardboard signs
all answers come as lies
and they’ll strip you down bare
stare and laugh until dawn

they’ll kick you in the balls
when you’re two feet tall
pour salt in the wounds
pray it’s over soon
