Willy Mason - Our Town lyrics

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 back seat 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.

And just that look in your eyes

You're just not quite uptight

Enough for our town.

And now don't try to fight

Because 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 it's 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'll 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 about your dinner, son.

That's 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,

Cheese spread,

And some mayonnaise.

I've got some white bread,

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

That's just no place to be

At the wrong time.

I think you mother

Should have never let you out at the wrong time.

We caught 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
