They Wrecked My Town

They wrecked my town

What a fall from grace

The carpetbagger

With a gypsy face

The world is weeping

Heads bow down

The world is weeping

And they wrecked my town

They came in with fists high

And they sold us away

I could see it comin’

Nobody had a word to say

World is weeping

Heads bow down

Nobody sees me

And this is my home town

Who are these men

That shape our lives

Out there in the shadows

you know that tell us lies

They tell my neighbor

Who was my friend

I am an enemy

Tell me, how does this end

All we want is a nice place to live

A quiet room

where they can't rob us

All we want

Is to live in truth

No more lies

Where words are a promise

All we want is to have a good job

A right to live in solitude

All we want

Is for our children

To do little bit better

Than me and you (resolves)

The world is weeping

Heads bow down

The world is weeping

And they really wrecked my town
