BRUTE FORCE AND IGNORANCE HAVE JUST HIT TOWN
LOOKING LIKE SURVIVORS FROM THE LOST AND FOUND
BRUTE FORCE AND IGNORANCE HAVE COME TO PLAY
ONE NIGHT STAND AT EIGHT O’CLOCK THE THEY’LL BE ON THEIR WAY

THIS OLD TOWNS EXPLODING AND THE MAYOR’S UPTIGHT
HE’D LIKE TO MAKE IT TO THE SHOW
BUT HE KNOW’S IT’S NOT HIS NIGHT
HE’S GOT TO BE BEHOLDEN TO HIS LADY SPOUSE BUT SHE’S PUT THE THUMBSCREWS ON
HIM AND SNUCK OUT OF THE HOUSE

THERE SHE GOES

PICTURE ON THE POSTER RAISED AN EYEBROW OR TWO
AT FIFTY FIVE TO SEVEN LORD YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE QUE
CITY SLICK AND COUNTRY HICK, THEY CAME ONE AND ALL
A TRAFFIC LIGHT GIRL AND THE DOWN HOME KIDS ASSEMBLED AT THE HALL

BRUTE FORCE AND IGNORANCE YES THAT THE NAME
YOUNG FOLKS GONNA MISS THEM NOW THEY’VE GONNA AWAY
WELL THE SHOW GOT SO CRAZY TODAY THEY TOOK THE BILLBOARDS DOWN I’LL NEVER
FORGET THE SCENE LAST NIGHT WHEN THE BAND WAS ESCORTED OUT OF TOWN

THEY SPLIT OUT LIKE SLOW MOTION I’M SAD TO SAY
AFTER THE CONFUSION IT’LL NEVER BE THE SAME
BUT I TOOK A WALK DOWN MAINSTREET JUST TO PASS THE TIME
AND I COULD STILL HERE THAT MUSIC ROLLING THROUGH MY MIND

BRUTE FORCE AND IGNORANCE THAT’S TRUE HIT TOWN
AND IF YOU WANNA FIND ANYBODY THEY’RE ALL AT THE LOST AND FOUND
