No Man's Land

In a town without a name

there is no shame

no blame to claim

one fine day the pilgrims came

and made new rules for an old game

And I'm waiting for the garbage man To take you away

And I'm searching for my playground

So I can go and play

So they built a big smoke stack

Built a railroad track

They made the dirt roads black

And they did it behind your back

And now you pay their tax

hoping something cracks

And I'm waiting for the garbage man

To take you away

And I'm searching for my playground

So I can go and play

From out of the dust came corrosion and rust

That made you look so cheap

There's nothing to have here

And nothing to hold here

And nothing that you can keep

Now understand this is no man's land

And its all that's left that's free

Where the kings of nothing rule my friend

And you can't make me leave

There's a billboard in the sky

Reflecting water in your eyes

This big city, this ghost town

Will come crawling to the ground

And I'm waiting for the hurricane To blow you away

And I'm searching for my twister

to twist you into shape

Now my speach is said and done

The circus came, I had my fun

And the wasteland has been won

And the building has begun

And I'm waiting for the earthquake To shake you down

And I see my mother nature Trying to drag you around

From out of the dust came

Corrosion and rust

That made you look so cheap

There's nothing to have here

And nothing to hold here

And nothing that you can keep

Now understand this is no man's land

And its all that's left that's free

Where the kings of nothing rule my friend

(Then you can't make believe?)
