It's a shame to call this goddamn place a hometown
Just take a look around
At empty faces
Stay and change the bases all around
I can't sleep sound
This dirt it chases me
These people make their own rules
Oh, you sick fools
Now can't you me
March forth and lay your body down
Do you hear the sacred sound
Of motor gasoline
Inhale my poison fumes
Won't never lay your soul to rest
You are my little pawn in chess
You'll move wherever
Wherever I tell you to
Mercury flows right down to Lake Erie
That poison fury
What once was glory
Pigment factory fumes encapsulate us
Intoxicate us
Kill the cicadas
Where, oh god, where is the Rust Belt
Oh, do you think
Maybe it misses me
March forth and lay your body down
Do you hear the sacred sound
Of motor gasoline
Inhale my poison fumes
Won't never lay your soul to rest
You are my little pawn in chess
You'll move wherever
Wherever I tell you to
Wherever I tell you to
