Hadlock Padlock

I ran into matlock at hadlock padlock

i said have you seen my love?

he said he was over on elkins road

face down in a puddle of blood

then i ran into blair warner

at the chevron at four corners

i said did you see him die?

she said that was just a rumor

super duper small town trumor

he was shipped off

to treatment last night

what goes around don't come around not in this town

seven walls go up for every one wall that comes down

and the old ladies pray they'll be young again someday

do your job you dirty slob or nobody gets paid

she was standing on the dock trying to hit the moon with rocks

along came a man with his cock in his hand

he said what do you think? she said i think you stink

then she spit in his eye, said bye-bye, and pushed him in the drink

then she went to the pay shower and pumped quarters for an hour

even though she made it she still felt violated

wrapped the soap on a rope around her throat

said dear god i really hope you'll let me into heaven

'cause i'm only eleven and i've got nowhere to go

what goes around don't come around not in this town

a subway sandwich shop goes up and the roller rink closed down

and the kids all pray that they'll either get away

or get a job like chad in dad's meth lab and become rich one day

little david was learning to skate, practiced every single day

kept falling and falling and falling but he finally learned to ollie

he wondered who he'd tell, thought he would tell mel,

but mel and all his other friends were in the county jail

which is where i sent the letter that said things are gonna get better

he said you've got it all wrong, why'd you write this stupid song?

i said 'cause you're in my head even if you want me dead

just because i said exactly what i meant doesn't mean i meant what i said

what goes around don't come around not in this town

you don't need karmic retribution if you've got good ammunition

and mama always prayed that someday she'd get laid

by some dumb fuck with a pickup truck and really good cocaine

please do me a favor when you go to penny saver

get a half-rack of lucky for the girls,

two roast beef mighty bites, a pack of old gold lights,

and meet us at the end of the world

i'll be standing on the cliff with the sunset in my eyes

i'll be too insignificant to feel the need to lie

i wonder if this climbing that you city people do

ever leads you to a place with such a pretty view

what if what goes around is just a naked crying clown

and the clouds split down the middle and a mighty hand comes down

and we think that we are saved but the hand is made of clay

and my tears make messy make up streaks all over my face

what goes around don't come around not in this town

seven walls go up for every one wall that comes down

and the old ladies pray they'll be young again someday

do your job you dirty slob or nobody gets paid

nobody gets laid

nobody gets saved

do your job you dirty slob or nobody gets paid
