Break You Town

A reaction to living in Huntington, West Virginia and West Virginia in general, a state overrun with poverty, obesity, chronic disease, and drug addiction.

Break You Town

This town is a break you town.

Even in the downtown

Promise to turn around

All just lost in the sound

Of heartbreak, give and take.

Love is fake

People are desperate

Begging for a break

From this bullshit, hypocrite,

They consume and consume

Until their clothes don’t fit.

All the while the perfect child

Drowns in his own bile

The minors of miners

Aren’t keepers,

They’re finders.

Find out there is no out

Only in,

Told their whole lives

They’re living in sin

Feel the walls close in.

Let the fun begin!

Reach for a hand and it hands them poison.

Smell the s**t in the air,

But who the f**k cares

Everyone knows not to drive down there.

Decay, destruction, devolves to despair,

Willing to put their hopes in the fraud with fake hair

And when the floods, came there was no Noah

No Moses, no Jesus, no Jehovah

Nothing but wasted prayers

But who the f**k cares

Everyone knows not to drive down there.

Love is all you need,

But love doesn’t feed

The four starving mouths at home.

So please take heed:

When you cry for help but there’s no one around

When your rent goes up and your pay goes down

When the lies pile up and friends can’t be found

That’s when you leave,

Break free of this break you town.

Perfectly sums up all the bull. I love this. The harsh reality of a cold society.
