Phil Gawen - Browntown Lyrics

Browntown, all I see, is a devil's circle
Of take and take, and a slow mo attitude
Browntown, all I hear, from kids who love to dream
I want to get out of here

Some towns can pull together
Pull strings for now or nevers
A realistic chance for progress
When they put their money where their mouth is

On the ball, to make things happen
Lesser evils, lesser greed, for a solid cause
Growth and stability and lower unemployment

Browntown, all I see
Is mixed up priorities
And selfish thrills
Browntown, all I know
Is that I can't take another day
I've had my fill

Browntown, to wake up one day and believe in something
Browntown, do it today, before hearts start breaking
Browntown, say what you mean and do what you can
For your old losing town

Browntown, all I see is, a one way street
Where the rich get rich and the poor get pitiful
Browntown, all I see, is a devil's circle
Of take and take and slow-mo attitudes

This town's a gold mine, blessings and all
A time bomb without the circuitry
Some people say they like it this way
I don't agree, I'm not the only one

Big posters for a small election
And everybody seems to fear the worst
It's been happening here for years and years
Only little things get done
Little things in Browntown
Do it today, not mañana
