Firebaugh

[Verse 1]
Brown and white, enter the night
Opposite sides of the street
No one speaks, no one looks
Their paths shall never meet
An unsuspecting traveler stranded in the night
Trapped in a realm of existence, everybody's right
A voice cries out, "Hey, Charlie Brown"
Are you the next vato who's gonna go down?
Heads turn, we told you so
If your car breaks down, don't take a tow to

[Chorus]
Firebaugh, Firebaugh
A place where no one dreams
Where either race is human waste
Here that silence screams
Firebaugh, Firebaugh
The outer limit's near
Drinking beer's the pastime here
This place is filled with hate and fear

[Verse 2]
Cornfields die, custard dies
See the boredom in their eyes
Low riders, Okies look for romance
Is this the place where the blackbirds dance?
Three men, one woman sit at the bar
She's the town whore, the village star
Who'll be the one to get up her dress?
Pass on by, avoid this mess

[Chorus]
Firebaugh, Firebaugh
A place where no one dreams
Where either race is human waste
It's here that silence screams
Firebaugh, Firebaugh
The outer limit's near
Drinking beer's the pastime here
This place is filled with hate and fear

[Outro]
If by chance your car breaks down
Keep your ear close to the ground
You might end up on the wrong side of town
What can you do? They're plotting around
