Lyrics City of Mud - The Dead Milkmen

City of Mud

Built ourselves a city and we made it out of mud
We dried it off this morning, out there in the desert sun
And we never do no working, just sit and watch TV
Well, I finally found a city, full of people just like me
Well, we’re gonna drag Bruce Springsteen
By his Axe through our streets
By the time we’re done
The Boss will look like a side of beef
We’ve got plans for other wankers
Who might come through our town
Y’know we’re going to rid the world
Of those Top-40 clowns
Then we’re going to buy some bombs
Just like the big boys have
So don’t call us losers
Or you might just make us mad
Built ourselves a city and we propped it up with wood
We were drunk when we made it
Hell, we did the best we could
And still we don’t do no working, just sit and watch TV
Well, I finally found a city, full of people just like me
Someone tried to build a health spa
But we quickly burned it down
'Cause we don’t want any healthy people
Ruining our town
Y’know, we used to have a K-Mart
We burnt that sucker too
'Cause they wouldn’t let you in
Without a shirt or shoes
And we never paved the roads
We just bought VCR’s
When you got good movies
Hell, you don’t need any cars
Built ourselves a city and we call it WiseGuyVille
And we made a few mistakes like putting children on the pill
And we never do no working 'cause we got cable TV
Hell, I finally found a city, full of people just like me
Someday we’ll have a new land from sea to shining sea
Someday we’ll have a country, full of people just like me
