Aurelio Voltaire Hate Lives In A Small Town
Well if you're headin' down the highway
Down about Route 10
Get off on the last exit and take it around the bend
You'll find a small town, but dont go hangin' around
Cause hate lives in small town, least that's what i have found
The mom's are in the kitchens, and they're bakin' pies
They smell so good they're made to cover up the smells of lies
They're in a small town, but pies don't cure all ills
Cause hate lives in a small town, that's why those moms take pills
Well i went to the big city and everyone was wearing black
If they saw that in my hometown they wouldn't stand for that
I saw kids all covered in Tatoos, with Mohawks and purple hair
But what really struck me..was no one seemed to care
The Knights they beat the Badgers when they played down in the square
But they saved the biggest beating for a kid with longish hair
They're in a small town, that kid was me one year
Cause Hate lives in a Small Town, moreso if you seem queer
The Pastor's in the pulpit, preaching rightous lies
And the congregation they dont know he slept with all their wives
They're in a small town, and it's so clear to see
That hate lives in a small town, as does adultery
Well i went to the big city, with my clothes in a pack
When i got off at the station there was no turning back
I met freaks and creeps and wierdos, loose women, and some geeks
But they were the nices gosh darn/fucking people, i'd ever hope to meet
When you're heading to a small town, they're as nice as can be
But then at night they put on sheets and hang your sad ass from a tree!
They're in a small town, dont dare be different
Cause hate lives in a small town, unless you're just like them
So if you're living in a small town and you feel you're in a vice
Buy yourself a ticket kid, hell just take my advice
And leave that small town, be quick as you can be
Get out of that small town and you'll be free like me!
