Lyrics Boomtown - D.O.A.

Boomtown

Boomtown, boomtown
Boomtown, boomtown
It’s hard to say how it got this way
What I wanna know, when does it end?
Well, they squeeze you dry, then they let you die
And then just throw ya away
Well, the jobs were there, but they ain’t no more
Now you’re starin' at a closed factory door
And the banker, he don’t give a damn
He’d walk right over a dyin' man
Boomtown
Well, they set you up just to knock ya down
Boomtown
Well, you’re gonna get turned upside down
It comes an' goes, ya never know
When it’s your turn for desolation row
Got no time to think when you’re feelin' sore
An' the grass ain’t green anymore
A revolvin' door that you’re bound to meet
Shovin' people right out in the street
To a nightmare that keeps comin' round
Just hold on an' try not to drown
Boomtown
Well, they set you up just to smash you down
Boomtown
Well, you’re gonna get, you’ll get mowed down
Boomtown
Well, ya gotta smile, gotta smile
Yeah better not frown
Boomtown
Keep it to yourself, shut your mouth
Yeah, shut up an' sit down
Even if you try you’re gonna cry
'Cause yo won’t make ends meet
'Cause the boomtown will let you down
It never comes through with the goods
It’s a boomtown
Well, they set you up just to cut ya down
Boomtown
Well, you’re gonna get gonna get turned upside down
Boomtown
Ya gotta smile gotta smile
Better not frown
Boomtown
Keep it to yourself shut your mouth
Shut up and sit down
