Welcome to the shantytown
the penny-ante town
a place your dreams turn down
the chance to get away,

where they'll rob you blind
then sell you back your sight
and under cover of the night
they'll rob you blind again,

it could be home to me
could be the death of me
and for the life of me
can't thinkΒ Β of
why I'd want to go.
