Brute force and ignorance
Brute force and ignorance
A one-night stand at eight o'clock
Then they'll be on their way
This old town's exploding
He'd like to make it to the show
But he knows it's not his night
But she's put the thumbscrews on him
And snuck out of the house
The picture on the poster
Lord, you should've seen the queue
City slick and country hick,
The traffic-light girl and the downhome kids
Brute force and ignorance
The young folks gonna miss them
Well, the show got so crazy
Today they took the billboard down
I'll never forget the scene last night
When the band was escorted out of town
This little town's back in slow motion
Well, I took a walk down main street
And I could hear that music
Still rolling through my mind
Brute force and ignorance
And if you want to find them, buddy
They're down at the lost and found
