Our Town - Willy Mason

Is that a guitar or a machine gun?

Don’t make me take it away

You know I think you are a bad one

I can tell by your face

G-G-G-Get down on the ground now

Don’t make me do this the hard way

You’re just a shadow in the back seat now

As they drive you away

And couldn’t you see

This is no place to be

At the wrong time

You know you’re not the only one here

Looking for some at the wrong time

And just that look in your eyes

You’re just not quite uptight

Enough for our town

And now don’t try to fight

Because we know that we’re right

In our town

Our town

And it’s just you behind the bars now

Staring into space

There’s time to think about each sound

And it’s effect on your face

Time to move you to the big cell

You’re all in this together now

This is where the really big deals go down

Just like in the street behind the White House

It’s easy to see

This is no place to be

At the wrong time

And there’s a feeling in here

That spreads like a disease

That it’s the wrong time

Just got to look in our eyes

And it’ll make you uptight

In our town

And now the more that you fight

The more we know that we’re right

In our town

Our town

Now don’t you worry about your dinner, son

That’s about the last thing on my mind

You know it ain’t gonna be a pretty one

What did you expect to find?

I’ve got some white bread

Cheese spread

And some mayonnaise

I’ve got some white bread

Cheese spread

And some mayonnaise

The judge can’t see you quite yet

This has been a busy week for us

Friday was a big bust

We’re just trying to clean these streets up

Couldn’t you see

That’s just no place to be

At the wrong time

I think you mother

Should have never let you out at the wrong time

We caught you looking at us

And we’re gonna bust you up

In our town

And you know everybody’s gonna watch you

Go straight down

In our town

Our town
