Lyrics
- 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
