Bummer Town
Life's a bummer,all year 'round,here in Bummer Town Happiness can't be found,in Bummer Town If you're lucky,love can be found,here in Bummer Town If you like 'em short and round,in Bummer Town But pretty soon,you'll hear that awful sound,here in Bummer Town Of breakin' hearts,and tears rainin' down,in Bummer Town
To find a job,ya gotta have a nose like a hound,here in Bummer Town Ya gotta keep it close to the ground,in Bummer Town And soon enough,you're workin' on the merry-go-round,here in Bummer Town You can't get off,you're nowhere bound,in Bummer Town Nobody smiles,they all wear frowns,here in Bummer Town Even the birthday clowns,in Bummer Town
Bummer Town Bummer Town,you keep me down,it aint no place to bum around Bummer Town Bummer Town,one day i'll be bound,to some happy town
I'd leave so fast,your head would spin around,here in Bummer Town If my car wasn't broken down,in Bummer Town For all the foolish souls,it's a breeding ground,here in Bummer Town And for all their hopes and dreams,it's a dumping ground,in Bummer Town If dying didn't cost so much,i'd be ready for the burial mound,here in Bummer Town Guess i'll spend another day just bummin' 'round,in Bummer Town
Bummer Town Bummer Town,you keep me down,it aint no place to bum around Bummer Town Bummer Town,one day i'll be bound,to some happy town Where the radio plays,just happy sounds

I've lived in some [naughty word removed] towns and known folks thinking if they step outside of the town they could drop off the planet. Inbred knuckle draggers who smell your ass when you walk in the bar to see if you are part of their clan lol Sounds like you have them in the states too Mike Not sure how it would work songwise. Could go down well in a bar with the crowd shouting out the tag

Mike, I like this one, particularly as the lyrics stand on their own absent the "Here in" In Bummer Town" refrain at the end of each line. Might give you some flexibility translating to song, where that refrain could be a secondary vocal (if that make sense). This one has a ton of potential (and for some reason reminds me of Live's tune "Sh*t Town"--though I'm guessing many on this board never heard that one).
All the best,
Deej
