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 don't 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 mewas 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 don't 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
Don't 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!
