Allegheny Lullaby

[00:18.63] Slack your rope, coil it around
[00:23.39] This here town's just like a hanging ground
[00:27.59] It's factory, gas station, or join
[00:36.50] It's a chain link prison with a tangling wire
[00:41.06] And you gonna get cut 'cause you can't climb any higher
[00:45.76] Factory, gas station, or join
[00:54.53] Oh, but I got dreams of a different plan
[00:56.45] Crossing the river to the promised land
[00:59.14] I wanna go down in flames with my sweet Janie
[01:01.52] Try to get the hell out of Allegheny
[01:03.87] With a hand on the bottle and one on the wheel
[01:06.29] Won't be a slave to the iron and steel
[01:09.00] Damned whichever way I'm going, my fate on the flip of a coin
[01:12.94] It's factory, gas station, or join
[01:22.30] Whole county wide is a cut speed trap
[01:26.47] It's a half inch of water and a Quikrete sack
[01:31.26] Factory, gas station, or join
[01:40.07] Got your back in the corner, feel the urge to kill
[01:44.57] When the light in the tunnel looks like a little white pill
[01:49.23] Factory, gas station, or join
[01:57.90] Oh, but I got dreams of a different plan
[01:59.93] Crossing the river to the promised land
[02:02.30] I wanna go down in flames with my sweet Janie
[02:04.62] Try get the hell out of Allegheny
[02:06.93] With a hand on the bottle and one on the wheel
[02:08.95] Won't be slave to the iron and steel
[02:11.84] Damned whichever way I'm going, my fate on the flip of a coin
[02:15.81] It's factory, gas station, or join
[02:24.46] La la la, la la la
[02:26.48] La la la la la la
[02:29.36] La la la la la
[02:31.00] La la la la li
[02:33.47] La la la, la la la
[02:35.25] La la la la la la
[02:38.58] Hush little baby, don't you cry
[02:42.76]
[03:00.24] So pick your uniform, but choose it well
[03:05.02] Prepare thyself, your soul to sell
[03:09.62] Factory, gas station, or join
[03:17.88] Oh, but I got dreams of a different plan
[03:20.17] I'm going down the river gonna wash my hands
[03:23.14] Me and Janie gonna come out clean not smelling like smoke and gasoline
[03:26.96] With a hand on the bottle and one on the wheel
[03:29.06] Won't be a slave to the iron and steel
[03:31.34] These choices are no choice at all, just the flipping of a coin
[03:35.90] It's factory, gas station, or join
[03:43.46] Oh, but I won't choose no factory
[03:45.61] I won't work no station, and I sure as hell won't join
[03:52.87]
