Prairie Rednecks Come To Town

about

Winnipeg calling...

lyrics

They roam around like beasts in a zoo
Looking for liquor, looking for a screw
Stumble about and shout in the dark
Make a big racket - it’s nothing but a lark
The booze makes ‘em mad, the pills drive ‘em insane
They just wanna get off, and shut down their brains
Cause a ruckus, start a great fight
It makes ‘em feel big, it makes ‘em feel alright

When you know you’re gonna go out on the town
Don’t let it bring you down
When you face some clowns
They try to screw you up, try and muck you around
Or just run you down
As they drive around

They deaden their senses, muffle their minds
Or even drink turps and hope they’ll go blind
Sniff meths or inhale glue
Stuff up their brains for want of things to do
Stand in the street or on train tracks
Waiting for an impact or someone to react
Scream and complain and howl at the moon
Some even get lucky and get a good screw
Groping around like lepers in the dark
Trying to control their errant body parts
They wake up in the morning and wonder what they’ve done
Who the hell that was and whether they’ve come

When you got out you’d better watch out!
They’re wild!
They’re driving around
(Hey you!)
Cruising the streets
(Yeah you buddy!)
With their windows down
(You like hockey?)
They’re looking for you!
(You know what you could be?
The puck!)

It really doesn’t matter much what they say
Just get out of their way! (x8)
