What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Now's the time your visions and your shreds
2
Turned out to be the cheap imported threads
3
The flag reeled out in a cotton kite
4
Flying miles above the wheat lands in a single stripe
5
The Revolution came and the Revolution went
6
The chemical rain left the message on the tent
7
Wanted: one man to lead a crusade
8
Payment: a bullet on a big parade
9
Down in Gangsterville
10
Where any sane people already crawled under the house
11
Yeah Gangsterville, the television is always thinking about
12
Real people, especially when it's hungry
13
Final decisions are made by the club
14
And implemented by the shadow of a glove
15
And sitting in a coffeehouse reading words
16
We got popcorn salesmen for protection from the world
17
Went through extensive preparations
18
I learned all about the other nations
19
When freedom was defined as a word in a book
20
I learned if you're plugged into something then baby you're hooked
21
Into Gangsterville
22
I searched for a rose or some sweet juice of water
23
Gangsterville, people are giving
24
A black lady sobbed on a step--God bless the little born
25
On the other hand, sitting next to a evil crew
26
They just got down from floor eighty-two
27
Been selling Indian reservations
28
Coming in looking for some jazz and a little libations
29
I like the same kind of beer
30
I gotta get right out of here
31
I'm going to New Orleans--gonna buy me a prayer
32
Gonna call somebody from a call box there
33
Hell this is Gangsterville
34
Bring your money to the shore
35
No automatic weapons on the jetty
36
Oh Gangsterville, electro shields on the phalanx
37
Club the Mayor in the streets, it's a chewable fecie
38
My kind, we are the worst kind
39
Got enough shrinks working on us
40
To defy paralysis, identify analysis
41
Just wanna hold my carburetor bible
42
Snapping to attention, eyes on the horizon
43
Keep your filter clean, wipe the oil from your dreams
44
Keep our hopes pinned to the Southern Cross
45
You got to believe in something or you feel a sense of loss
46
Down in Gangsterville
47
Pelicans dying strangling on a six can strap
48
Gansterville shut off all the power burn out all the gasoline
49
Stop writing things on screens.
