[Verse 1] Raised alone daddy's running a [?] Five generations of American dreams The wind it howls and the pump jacks they sing Get your money and run and you won't miss a thing This town out west it raised me fast Sometimes red dirt paints a crooked path Nobody's around to see what we've done Just a flare in the night til the morning sun aha Yeah in the City of Shame
[Chorus] Well the poor got rich and they went insane Spending all their money trying to kill the pain The poor got rich and they went insane On an oil rig in the City of Shame Yeah City of Shame aha Yeah City of Shame
[Verse 2] Mama got me out as soon as she could But I was too far gone and I did what I would Go back to see what trouble my friends found Get stoned and wait for the sun to go down Now they're all strung out on amphetamines You either stay to die or you're dying to leave Glad I got out just when I did I was pretty messed up but I was just a kid
[Chorus] Well the poor got rich and they went insane Spending all their money trying to kill the pain The poor got rich and they went insane On an oil rig in the City of Shame aha Yeah City of Shame aha Yeah City of Shame
[Verse 3] Word got out that the boom came again So innocent souls came to our lair [?] one bedroom for a hefty price Won't be worth a damn when the land runs dry
[Chorus] Well the poor got rich and they went insane Spending all their money trying to kill the pain The poor got rich and they went insane On an oil rig in the City of Shame aha Yeah City of Shame aha Yeah City of Shame ahaTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
