Letra de Welcome to Struggleville

[Verse 1]
All is quiet on the Western front
There appears to be a lull
John and Jane Doe are sleeping well tonight
With the little thoughts inside their skulls
Salome, she's undressed to the nines
And although a few pounds fatter
She's got Pavlov's bells on her ankles and wrists
She coming at you with her platter
[Verse 2]
I stole down to the waterfront
To escape the desert heat
What on earth you gotta do around here
To try and get yourself a drink?
Heard John the Baptist preaching
"Make way for the King
But if you wanna recognize him
You gotta tell me all your sins"
[Chorus]
They are building a new gallows
For when You show up on the street
Polishing the electric chair
They're gonna give You a front row seat
Heard a sneer outside the garden
Salutations so well-heeled
"Welcome, all you suckers, to Struggleville"
[Verse 3]
I been trying to negotiate peace
With my own existence
She got a stockpile full of weaponry
She breaking every cease-fire agreement
Oh, the whole thing is full of decay
As sure as I'm made of dust
And into rust I know the beast is falling
[Chorus]
They are building a new gallows
For when You show up on the street
Polishing the electric chair
They're gonna give You a front row seat
Heard a sneer outside the garden
Salutations so well-heeled
"Final stop, no points beyond Struggleville
Oh, welcome, all you suckers, to Struggleville"
