lyrics

Bobby was born on the wrong side of town
He never smiles he's always wearing a frown.

His hat is worn crooked upon his head
When you look in his eyes you'll see the walking dead.

He met sweet Lisa when she was 18
They worked late nights at the Burger Kiing

They got to work two jobs just to make the rent
Before the week is over their money is spent.

The senator's son got kicked out of school
He got caught buying smack at the town swimming pool

There's a whole lot of trouble in my home town
Our spirits have all been broken down.

The mayor's brother he loves his new Jaguar car
But he won't be able to drive much 'cause he'll soon be behind bars.

There's even trouble in the preacher's home.
His daughter's meth habit won't leave her alone.

We've got no shortage of sinners, but come up short on the saints.
Is this what we're here for? Is this our fate?

The mayor's wife is hooked on diet pills,
But his honor craves even bigger thrills.

We've got no heat in the kitchen and rats in the basement.
But the landlord still wants his payment.

The baby's got the hiccups his sister is throwing up
Sometimes my wife feels like giving up

There's a whole lot of trouble in my home town

Our spirits have all been broken down

There's a whole lot of trouble in my home town.
