No Mans Land Lyrics by Soul Asylum

No Mans Land Lyrics

    In a town without a name
    There is no shame
    No blame to claim
    One fine day the pilgrims came
    And made new rules for an old game
    And i'm waiting for the garbage man to take you away
    And i'm searching for my playground
    So i can go and play
    So they built a big smoke stack
    Built a railroad track
    They made the dirt roads black
    And they did it behind your back
    And now you pay their tax
    Hoping something cracks
    And i'm waiting for the garbage man
    To take you away
    And i'm searching for my playground
    So i can go and play
    From out of the dust came corrosion and rust
    That made you look so cheap
    There's nothing to have here
    And nothing to hold here
    And nothing that you can keep
    Now understand this is no man's land
    And its all that's left that's free
    Where the kings of nothing rule my friend
    And you can't make me leave
    There's a billboard in the sky
    Reflecting water in your eyes
    This big city, this ghost town
    Will come crawling to the ground
    And i'm waiting for the hurricane to blow you away
    And i'm searching for my twister
    To twist you into shape
    Now my speach is said and done
    The circus came, i had my fun
    And the wasteland has been won
    And the building has begun
    And i'm waiting for the earthquake to shake you down
    And i see my mother nature trying to drag you around
    From out of the dust came
    Corrosion and rust
    That made you look so cheap
    There's nothing to have here
    And nothing to hold here
    And nothing that you can keep
    Now understand this is no man's land
    And its all that's left that's free
    Where the kings of nothing rule my friend
    (then you can't make believe?)
