Welcome to small town USA Allow me to give you the tour Come along now, right this way and you’ll see all the allure There’s a Baptist Church on every street to keep the populace in line So long as you recognize them as the elite you’ll get along just fine Uptown doctors, lawyers, preachers, clerks Outstanding citizens with umblemished lives They peddle their wares and reap the perks Then go home to abuse their submissive wives Here the City Council congregates home of the white elephant within those walls they gravely deliberate before doing whatever the churches want Ahead the local center of trade where every locals feet have trod Where you can get anything you could want Just as long as it’s okay with God Across the street is the courthouse proper where the dramas of justice are played true justice is blind and it’s easy to stop her if all of the right people are paid Next door to that - police station and jail Which you need never fear So long as you're white, protestant and male and make at least fifty-thousand a year At the top of the hill there is Small Town High where the children’s minds are honed After four years here which are easy as pie They either leave forever or become mindless drones So, welcome to Small Town, home of the meek it’s a simplier time And if you harbour no desire to be unique Your life here will be simply sublime |
