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.
