Lyrics Brute Force And Ignorance - Rory Gallagher

Brute Force And Ignorance

Brute Force and Ignorance
Just hit town
Looking like survivors
From the Lost and Found
Brute Force and Ignorance
Have come to play
A one-night stand at eight o`clock
Then they`ll be on their way
This old town`s exploding
And the mayor`s uptight
He`d like to make it to the show
But he knows it`s not his night
He`s got to be beholding
To his legal spouse
But she`s put the thumbscrews on him
And snuck out of the house
There she goes
The picture on the poster
Raised an eyebrow or two
At fifty-five to seven
Lord, you should`ve seen the queue
City slick and country hick
They came one and all
The traffic-light girl and the downhome kids
Assembled in the hall
Brute Force and Ignorance
Yes, that`s the name
The young folks gonna miss them
Now they`ve gone away
Well, the show got so crazy
Today they took the billboard down
I`ll never forget the scene last night
When the band was escorted out of town
This little town`s back in slow motion
I`m sad to say
After the confusion
It`ll never be the same
Well, I took a walk down Main Street
Just to pass the time
And I could hear that music
Still rolling through my mind
Brute Force and Ignorance
They sure hit town
And if you want to find them, buddy
They`re down at the Lost and Found
