well this town's gone crazy

where they talk about love

it seems they've gotten lazy

answers just 'all the above'

there is no restitution

no effort to find what they have lost

only desiring tainted solutions

to avoid the actual cost

oh

you can almost hear them

their silent screams coming through

how can our father forgive us

when we've never been introduced?

will somebody tell them?

there is a love burning in the dark

a love that's like no other

saying

'come as you are'

this town needs a hero

but will they welcome him?

that in hope is less than zero

it's just another day in desperationville

no one answers to no one

or so their stubborn minds think

this town's just a loaded gun

bang! before i can blink

everyone's pointing fingers

'don't look at me if it goes wrong'

they're all heartbroken singers

singing the same old sad songs

oh

you can almost hear them

their silent screams coming through

how can our father forgive us

when we've never been introduced?

this town needs a hero

but will they welcome him?

that in hope is less than zero

it's just another day in desperationville

somebody tell them

there is a love burning in the dark

a love that's like no other

saying

'come as you are' in desperationville

in desperationville

welcome to

to desperationville
