Beatown Lyrics

B e a t o w n
I spoke to your boss this morning
He asked why you werent home?
I said sir they left without warning
You wont even get them on the telephone
Theyre in beatown, its a capital city and all roads lead to
Beatown, beatown
I spoke to your owner this lunchtime
He asked why you werent home?
I said they thought it was hunchtime
You wont even see them standing on their own
Beatown, its a capital city and all roads lead to
Beatown, beatown
He says he wants his money back sir
He says youre all communists sir
I said they beat you fair and square sir
They use the head, and not the fist
Beatown, beatown
