Our Town Songtext
von Willy Mason

Is that a guitar or a machine gun?
Don′t make me take it away
You know I think you are a bad one
I can tell by your face
G-g-g-get down on the ground now
Don't make me do this the hard way
You′re just a shadow in the backseat now
As they drive you away

And couldn't you see this is no place to be at the wrong time?
You know you're not the only one here
Looking for some at the wrong time

It′s just that look in your eyes, you′re
Just not quite uptight enough for our town
And now don't try to fight ′cause we know that we're right in our town
Our town


And it′s just you behind the bars now
Staring into space
There's time to think about each sound
And its effect on your face
Time to move you to the big cell
You′re all in this together now
This is where the really big deals go down
Just like in the street behind the White House

It's easy to see this is no place to be at the wrong time
And there's a feeling in here that spreads
Like a disease that it′s the wrong time

Just got to look in our eyes and it will make you uptight in our town
And now the more that you fight the more
We know that we′re right in our town
Our town

Now don't you worry ′bout your dinner, son
That's just about the last thing on my mind
You know it ain′t gonna be a pretty one
What did you expect to find?
I've got some white bread, some cheese spread and some mayonnaise
I′ve got some white bread, some cheese spread and some mayonnaise
The judge can't see you quite yet
This has been a busy week for us
Friday was a big bust
We're just trying to clean these streets up

Couldn′t you see this is no place to be at the wrong time?
I think your mother never should have let you out at the wrong time


We catch you looking at us and we′re gonna bust you up in our town
And you know everybody's gonna watch you go straight down in our town
Our town
