Bummed Out City Lyrics - Singles - Joe Strummer And The Mescaleros

It was me, drove off the off ramp 

Of the sweetheart highway 

It was me, I admit, I had the map 

This is what I gotta say 

We're in Bummed Out City 

That's what the sign says 

I plead your mercy and your pity 

Is not life a mirror maze? 

The hardware store is never open 

Until the quarter of the moon 

Let's leave town before the rodeo 

Rides in with the typhoon 

We're in Bummed Out City 

So come on, let's operate 

Let's open a disc brake parlor 

No, it never is too late 

Before you know you'll be in Bummed Out City 

In a cloud of dust and rust 

And all the dogs biting on your exhaust pipe 

Even they gonna show you trust 

And it was me, drove off the off ramp 

Of the sweetheart highway 

It was me, I admit I had the map 

This is what I gotta say 

We're in Bummed Out City 

That's what the sign says 

I plead your mercy and your pity 

Is not life a mirror maze? 

We're in Bummed Out City 

That's what the sign says 

I plead your mercy and your pity 

Is not life a mirror maze? 

We're in Bummed Out City 

That's what the sign says 

I plead your mercy and your pity 

Is not life a mirror maze? 

We're in Bummed Out City 

I plead your mercy and your pity 

Is not life a mirror maze?
