My Town

I live in a nondescript small little town

where the sun comes up and the sun goes down

we got McDonald's and a Wal-Mart, but no more downtown

I guess that you've probably been there

where everything's franchised, so everything sells

for five pennies less--the stuff flies off the shelves

now everything here is like everywhere else

I guess that you've probably been there

 

You've probably been to my town.

 

Where we're all out of shape 'cause we don't go outside

yet we all have three cars from which to decide

'cause why should you walk a block when you can drive?

I guess that you've probably been there

and with satellite you can get so much TV!

What does it matter there's nothing to see

you can pirate the cable and get it all for free!

I guess that you've probably been there

 

You've probably been to my town.

 

We talk about high school as it we're still there

but it's been 20 years, yet we seem unaware

and if we learned something we don't remember or care

and I guess that you've probably been there

we don't trust anyone who's not from here

all the local supply all our cocaine and beer

and anyone different is probably queer

and I guess that you've probably been there

 

You've probably been to my town.
