The Edge Of Town Lyrics - Twilight - The Suicide File

The cul-de-sac jungle is a cruel place 

It's a living rotting failure from a different age 

And if you're looking for the place that dreams go to die 

It's not in the city, it's around the outside 

 

You can mortgage your future for sub-leached purity 

And accept the sterility in exchange for security 

But no matter how many times you run from your fears 

The same problems always re-appear 

 

Day after day, it's all just decay 

And the promised land just gets further away 

On these dead lawns lie your father's dreams 

White flight, white blight, white screams 

 

On these dead lawns, lie your mother's dreams 

Rum, Romanism And Tammany idealism is fucking dead 

Laughed off the stage at countless conventions 

Laissez-faire is en vogue again 

 

It's silver tongue has been heaven sent 

One man, one vote, throw it away 

One land, one hope, throw it away 

 

When every candidate looks the same 

Born of noble blood 

So don't fucking talk to me about 

Our tradition of democracy 

Who the fuck am I supposed to believe in?
