There's an old green shed at the end of an overgrown driveway | |
And years ago that shed collapsed and fell | |
Years before that there was a withered dog chained up there | |
I saved him, maybe he saved me as well | |
Now he's gone and | |
I think I've come undone | |
And it's midnight in the city of destruction | |
There's music in the air and sweet abandon | |
They're singin' cross the farm in the evening breeze | |
But there's someone in the rows who's unwanted | |
And now they've cut the faithful from the trees | |
And the bulldozers move in one by one | |
It's midnight in the city of destruction | |
I lost my guitar, my home, my hope and my good fortune | |
I lost my grandfather, two neighbors and my friend | |
I pray that | |
God himself will come and drown the president | |
If the levees break again | |
Now we're standin' at the crossroads waitin' for instruction | |
And it’s midnight in the city of destruction | |
There's a secret prison somewhere south of 60 | |
And in that secret prison there's a secret cell | |
And the prisoner's bound and burned, blinded and beaten | |
Still that secret prisoner keeps his secret well | |
Turn out the lights 'cause for one night that's enough, son | |
It's midnight in the city of destruction |
There' s an old green shed at the end of an overgrown driveway | |
And years ago that shed collapsed and fell | |
Years before that there was a withered dog chained up there | |
I saved him, maybe he saved me as well | |
Now he' s gone and | |
I think I' ve come undone | |
And it' s midnight in the city of destruction | |
There' s music in the air and sweet abandon | |
They' re singin' cross the farm in the evening breeze | |
But there' s someone in the rows who' s unwanted | |
And now they' ve cut the faithful from the trees | |
And the bulldozers move in one by one | |
It' s midnight in the city of destruction | |
I lost my guitar, my home, my hope and my good fortune | |
I lost my grandfather, two neighbors and my friend | |
I pray that | |
God himself will come and drown the president | |
If the levees break again | |
Now we' re standin' at the crossroads waitin' for instruction | |
And it' s midnight in the city of destruction | |
There' s a secret prison somewhere south of 60 | |
And in that secret prison there' s a secret cell | |
And the prisoner' s bound and burned, blinded and beaten | |
Still that secret prisoner keeps his secret well | |
Turn out the lights ' cause for one night that' s enough, son | |
It' s midnight in the city of destruction |
There' s an old green shed at the end of an overgrown driveway | |
And years ago that shed collapsed and fell | |
Years before that there was a withered dog chained up there | |
