Brute Force & Ignorance

Brute force and ignorance

Just hit town

Looking like survivors

From the lost and found

Brute force and ignorance

Have come to play

A one-night stand at eight o'clock

Then they'll be on their way

This old town's exploding

And the mayor's uptight

He'd like to make it to the show

But he knows it's not his night

He's got to be beholding

To his legal spouse

But she's put the thumbscrews on him

And snuck out of the house

There she goes

The picture on the poster

Raised an eyebrow or two

At fifty-five to seven

Lord, you should've seen the queue

City slick and country hick,

They came one and all,

The traffic-light girl and the downhome kids

Assembled in the hall

Brute force and ignorance

Yes, that's the name

The young folks gonna miss them

Now they've gone away

Well, the show got so crazy

Today they took the billboard down

I'll never forget the scene last night

When the band was escorted out of town

This little town's back in slow motion

I'm sad to say

After the confusion

It'll never be the same

Well, I took a walk down main street

Just to pass the time

And I could hear that music

Still rolling through my mind

Brute force and ignorance

They sure hit town

And if you want to find them, buddy

They're down at the lost and found
