The work was hard out on the ranch, the days were hot an' dry,
An' fancy things you find in town had caught ol' Jim Bob's eye.
When evenin' came he'd sit the fence an' crave to see the sights,
To drive big cars to all the bars an' toast the city nights.
He had a gal he courted some, her name was Betty Lou.
She'd lived a spell in Angelo, had been to Lubbock, too.
Her face was fine, with freckled cheeks, her hair was done in style;
An' all her clothes had fancy brands that musta cost a pile.
Now, Betty Lou had set her sights to put her brand on Jim,
But he had things he had to do an' marriage weren't for him.
The world was callin'-out his name, he had some things to learn,
Some places that he had to see, 'some candles left to burn'.
Well, came a time, an' like you thought, he wandered off the range,
But ended up in Boston-town; now boys, that was a change.
He found a bar that looked real clean an' sauntered in the door;
He'as proud to be of Texas stock an' sallied to the fore.
A fancy feller slithered-up an' asked Jim to his place,
But when he put his hand on Jim's, he punched him in the face.
I guess that feller didn't know for what ol' Jim was known,
An' bein' green to city life, he'as best just left alone.
Right after Jim had took his shot that dude got mighty riled;
He punched Jim once an' kicked him twice, an' left him right defiled.
Jim left his mark, I guess you'd say, that feller's bloody clothes;
Cause when that feller swung his fist, Jim hit it with his nose!.
He'd never seen them fancy dudes, who act like girls an' such;
From what he knew, which wadn't squat, he didn't like 'em much.
He heard they'as sissies, frail an' weak, sashayin' as they walked.
They gossiped like some women-folk, an' giggled when they talked.
Well, when it all was said an' done, he helped Jim to his feet,
An' dusted off his shirt a mite, then smiled at him real sweet.
He told Jim 'bout a couple things he liked to do with males;
Now, one was such I won't repeat, but one was kickin' tails.
Well, boys I guess there's lessons here: be careful where you roam;
Don't wander off to Boston-town, if Texas is your home;
But if you do, stear clear of bars, an' this I would include;
Don't ever underestimate an' rile a fancy dude.
Oh, city of despair
Come live here
Where opportunities abound
In the streets they can be found
No jobs to pull you down
Just a place to hang around
Come live here
Oh, city of despair
Chase this bullet from my gun
I sure hope you're having fun
Let's light-up the morning sky
Before the sun gives it a try
Where opportunies abound
In the streets they can be found
Oh, city of despair
Come live here
There is no need to get ahead
Social cancers claims our dead
It's no place for open choices
Pure rage drives our inner voices
Leaders built this prison city
before the laws were ever broken
Throw us pennies from their coffers
They don't hear a single word we've spoken
Our institutions are overcrowded
Our numbers growing country-wide
Soon every city will be exploding
and you'll still be asking; "Why?"
The answer is quite simple
We are sure you see it clear
'Where?' you invite
In any City of Despair
In the city of concrete
Morbid soul and brazen mind
Silence is kind loud
Voice seem stifle
In the city of glass
Heart is shatter
Love so brittle
Lust all that matter
In the city of great men’s statue
Triumph insanity and fails pity
Chase of void hope
Vain pride to cope
In the city of high education
Pupil prides in knowledge
Success is the notion
Humility barely mention
In the city close to skies
For youth to conquer
Alas! Smoking they flatter
Bargain life with mind clutter
In the city of bright night
Amid dark misery and plight
In quest of limelight
People lost life insight
In the city of democracy
Those provoke liberty
Subtle unwind equality
Minority decry atrocity
Always there grows a city
With false etiquette
Claim same old story
To establish peace and morality
...raHUL
Form:
Dreams of an ancient city
Collapsed in darkest light
Seen by those who witness
The beauty in our sight
The cold ambient welcome
From dissolution’s heir
Fixated on our silence
As this city starts to stare
We hold to all our reason
We focus all our will
But danger seeps toward us
Holding our hearts still
Draining all my patience
Seperating friends
I wake into this nightmare
In a horror that won’t end
A flicker of remembrance
A daydream I forget
In the corner of perception
I see the darkness set
In my dreams this city greets me
I scream until it fades
And in wakefulness I’m poisoned
What did the city say?
An ancient creature stalks me
Threatening my worth
This monster keeps me silent
In a city we call Earth
