New lyrics

Signs and wonders light up the sky
we get choked up when we see the preachers cry
ordinary sinners are just trying to get over
and advertise their dreams "for sale by owner"
everyone wants to be somewhere else
don't we all deserve a little help?

It's a dustbowl that's comng down
the waters rising on the edge of town
either way you're gonna choke
either way you're gonna drown

Now they're up there printing money
and they start to pass it round
the bankers don't come running
they have to leave it on the ground
you can't cry about what you never had
you can't keep spending what you don't have

It's a dustbowl that's coming down
the water's rising on the edge of town
either way you're gonna choke
either way you're gonna drown

now the same people begging for a handout
are the same ones who put you down
they ridiculed your little place
in the common part of town
you got to give in to temptation
and throw those mothers out

it's a dustbowl that's coming down
the water's rising on the edge of town
either way, they're gonna choke
either way, they're gonna drown.
