Welcome to struggleville Lyrics

All is quiet on the western front, there appears to be a lull
Oh, John and Jane Doe are sleeping well tonight, with little thoughts inside their skulls
Salome, she's undressed to the nines, and although a few pounds fatter
She got Pavlov's bells on her ankles and wrists, she coming at you with a platter

Chorus:
Their building a new gallows for when you show up on the sta'reets
Oh, they're polishing the electric chair, gonna give you a front row seat
Heard a sneer outside the garden, salutations, so well
Welcome all you suckers, to Struggleville

I stole down to the waterfront, to escape the desert heat
Oh, what on Earth you gotta do around here, to try and get yourself a drink
Heard John the Baptist preaching, said make way for the king
But if you wanna recognize him, you gotta tell me all your sins

(Chorus)
Welcome all you suckers, to Struggleville

I've been trying to negotiate peace, with my own existence
She got stockpiles 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
Oh, but in the rust I hear, the beast is calling

And their building into gallows, when you show up on the streets
Oh, they're polishing the electric chair, gonna give you a front row seat
Heard a sneer outside the garden, salutations, so well
Final stop, no points beyond Struggleville
Welcome all you suckers, to Struggleville
