The Town With No Tomorrow
No ones come along long enough
To bring about a change
When your just another number
Piled onto another day
Following your daddy
And his daddy before him
When your in a losing state
You ain't got time to win
So it's Friday night at the local dive
Drowning in your sorrows
Cause everyone knows in a town like this
That there's no tomorrow
There's no need of worry
Cause there's a guarantee
That when you reach a certain age
Life will take you to the factory
And the factory gates is as far as you'll get
In the humming of this towns song
From your daily dawn to dusk
Your nightly dusk to dawn
To give you something new to do
You'd have to beg, steal, or borrow
Cause everyone knows in a town like this
That there's no tomorrow
As the old men on the corner
Rot from the inside out
It doesn't take long for the young
To figure that one out
You can shake your fist in anger
People do it all the time
Just make sure when your done with it
That you get back on the line
You taste the poison daily
Which numbs you to the marrow
Cause everyone knows in a town like this
That there's no tomorrow
