Slydell Songtext
von Big Sexy Noise

Nothing′s been the same since they tore the farm factory down
Got old men on the corner ball and chained and just hanging around

Little kids slanging dope just to pay for their mama's speed
Daddy′s at the bar drinking Schlitz and coming home mean

Granny's popping meds, cuz is jacking scripts
Everybody's looking for a way to get out
For a way to get out
A way to get out, out of this town


Jimmy shot Joey, shot Lenny, shot Louie and Kim
Called his wife on the phone
Said there ain′t no going home again
Said a prayer to baby Jesus
With his finger on the trigger
Put a gun to his temple
Better call the gravedigger
Call him again

Got to get out, get out of this town

Sister Lucy caused a scandal when the papers came to pry
Had her fingers in the kitty was stashing in something on the side

Brother Peter caused a panic
′Cause he couldn't keep his hands to himself
He was giving private lessons to a boy who looked about twelve

The entire congregation now demands investigation
And the preacher and the teacher and the mayor
Are all doing hard time
These are hard times, these are hard times
